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

Is there a bug in this challenge? I changed nothing in the first task yet trying to complete the third one causes it to fail.

Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

Try submitting it without the var keyword like below. This will add it to the existing array

myArray[30] = "treehouse";

When I do this, I get: "Bummer! The 'myArray' length is 6 not 31."

Dont forget Arrays are 0 index, and 1 means 0, 2 means 1, 3 means 2 etc...

Maybe that can help someone here.

Thanks
