Hey abdenaser! You sorta did the right thing. What is wants you to do is, isntead of creating the array and then initialising each index afterward, simply:

String[] teachers = {"Jay", "Dave", "James"};

But you were never supposed to create new functions. Just modify the already existing function "getTeachersAsArrayLiteral()".

In there just replace the line "String[] teachers = null;" with the above.

Hope this helps!
