371 PointsInitializing variable in an array
Cannot figure out the following test, maybe I am overthinking, which I tend to do. But I have written so many different formulas and cannot figure this one out. Here is the question...
Declare a String variable named bestSports and initialize it to the first element of the sports array.
the following is the code already provided...
String[] sports = { "Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis"};

So, create a string and set it to the first element of sports, would be something like:
String bestSport = sports[0];

371 PointsThanks for the quick reply, however tried that code already and its not right. Im thinking has something to do with the "int" command?

371 PointsOk so I have figured it out, the string variable is actually "bestSport" not "bestSports". Ive been stuck on this for 2 days just because I added the "s" to make it plural lol.
