Welcome to Android! You were very close with the challenge and the reason it was failing is because String should be with a capital letter.
In Java, a String is what we call a non-primitive data type - there are only 8 primitive data types and these are the only "types" that don't start with a capital.
Don't worry about understanding anything about primitive and non-primitive just yet though! Ben will explain all of this later on in the courses :)
Hope it helps and if there's anything else, feel free to tag me on the Community with @Harry James ;)

Almost perfect! You just have a small typo. String has a capital S. You have declared it with a lowercase s. Just change string to String and you should pass!
Good job.
