FRONT END WEB DEVELOPMENT

  1. Code Challenge: Getting & Setting

Challenge task 2 of 2 On about line 18, set the 31st element in 'myArray' to the word 'treehouse'.

<script>
      var myArray = ["sugar", "rush", "fix", "it", 3.14, 42];

      var thirdElementInArray = myArray[2];

      var myArray[30] = "treehouse";
</script>

When I submit the above code I get this message:

Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing. I didn't changed anything from the previous task!

Here's your issue:

 var myArray[30] = "treehouse";

You already declared myArray you don't want to re-declare it using var you want to assign a new value, so in this case the var keyword throws a syntax error.
