Next code challenge question

Hi,

For some reason it wouldn't let me ask a question about the next code challenge on the next page...so I'll just post it here. I'm not sure what it means when it asks me to "initialize it to the first element of the sports array"...

I'm just a little confused on how to work it out.

When it says initialize, that means when you first make the array.

int[] intarray = {12, 54, 58};

The above was initialized with the values 12, 54, 58. So when it asks you to initialize an array named sports with 3 sports, it wants you to create a string array named sports and in the declaration method, add 3 sports (Strings) to the array.

If this is still kinda unclear, rewatch the video just before the challenge. he codes the array at 56 seconds in.

Hope this helps!
