Hi Blessing,

1) The syntax to make a String array is 'String[]'. The brackets denote that you want an array, and by typing in String before the brackets, you tell the compiler what data type you want the array to be of.

2) Next, name the array. The challenge wants us to name it 'sports', so we'll do just that.

3) Use the curly brace syntax to plug in the three values. We need a semicolon at the end of the statement to tell the compiler that the statement has ended (the way we use periods in English to end a sentence).

String[] sports = {"football", "baseball", "basketball"};

Hope this helps!
