Javascript Foundations Getting and Setting code challenge 2 of 2 not passing

For some reason the second question isn't passing. It says Task 1 is no longer passing. Here's my code:

The problem:

On about line 18, set the 31st element in 'myArray' to the word 'treehouse'.

var myArray = ["sugar", "rush", "fix", "it", 3.14, 42];
 var thirdElementInArray = Murray [2];
 var myArray[30] = "treehouse";

the challenge: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/getting-and-setting

I tried putting 30 instead of 31 and get the same thing,

Just by eyeballing it, perhaps it's because you're basically initializing a new variable called "myArray" instead of using the one you initialized earlier.

Try it without the "var" on the third line...

myArray[30] = "treehouse";

Ohh man. I wish he had mentioned that in the lesson, would have saved me a lot of teeth grinding.
