I really don't understand the challenge, possible explanation with code? thanks!

Don't really understand the challenge at whole, "initialize it to the first element of the sports array" what does this mean?

Thanks!

Hi Zak,

The existing code is:

String[] sports = { "Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis" };

In pretty much the same language, this just means create a new string, setting the value to the first element of the array.

Remember, we can access an array element by using a number (ie myArray[?]). Does this help explain it some?
