How is the code written? I have tried many times but not work.

String message = "hello there";
String[] myStringArray = {"im an array", message, "I am another element of the array" }
So what they are asking is to initialize a new variable and set that in the 2nd element or index 1 of the array.
Hope that helps!

Courses Plus Student 15,766 PointsI think it's the other way around actually - they already have a String Array and are asking the user to create a new String variable and set it to the second element of that Array:
String[] myStringArray = {"one", "two", "three"};
String message = myStringArray[1];
Ka Kai Chan, don't forget that Arrays start counting from 0, not 1. So the first element of an array is 0, the second is 1, and so on.
