You're declaring shoppingList two times, the first one as a variable and the second one as a constant. Since shoppingList is going to change it's content, you should erase "let" from the second line and it should work fine.

Just for clarity. You need to assign the array to the variable and delete the constant.

var shoppingList = ["toothpaste", "bread", "eggs"]
