The instructions are to declare an integer numberOfFrogs and to then set it to the number of elements in the array using the length property. I cannot figure this one out. I've tried rewatching the video multiple times.

first declare an integer variable called numberOfFrogs
Next if you watch the video carefully the use of length property has been shown. It gives you the number of elements inside the array. So in case of frogNames that would be 3 i.e. He, Be and Te
Now the value of 3 will be assigned to the integer variable numberOfFrogs using the length property of arrays
String [] frogNames = {"He", "Be", "Te"};
String bestFrog = frogNames[0];
int numberOfFrogs = frogNames.length;
Hope that helps.
