How can I assign a string from one array to another?

For example: String[] food = { "Pizza", "Hamburger", "Hot Dog"};

and then I want "Hot Dog" to be equal to String[] favoritefood, how would I assign Hot Dog to be the favorite food?

Hi Elijah!

What you would need to do is set the favouriteFood array's first item at index 0 to be equal to the index of the food you want in the other array. An example of this is shown below:

favouriteFood[0] = otherArray[1];

However, if you only want to store one value in this array, which it looks like you might judging by the name, then I would recommend just storing it in a string instead as it is a lot simpler.

I hope that I managed to help you out! If you have any more questions then don't hesitate to ask them.
