I'm not sure that I understand what they are asking in this question?

Are they asking us to replace the third element in the array, which is "fix", with the string "thirdElementInTheArray"? No matter what I do, I get the incorrect answer. I'm assuming that they want us to specify the array name and in the brackets specify the index of the element that is the third element. So, my_array[2] = "thirdElementInTheArray"; replace the string at the 3 position in the array.

Has anyone solved this and can they clarify?

It's not asking you to replace "fix" with "thirdElementInTheArray", it's asking you to set the variable thirdElementInTheArray to the actual third element.

All you need to do is change the number inside the bracket from 3 to 2.

Hi Thank you for that. After asking the question I went back and looked at it again and then realized what they were asking. Basically it was a test to see if we could use index values to match up with the correct element in the array.

Again, thanks for the quick response.
