Problems initializing arrays

Hello, I am stuck with the 2/4 challenge with arrays. I have to declare a string bestFrog and initialize it to the first element of the array. Heres what Ive typed but I keep getting compiler errors and Ive tried everything I could have thought of. Thank you

String [] frogNames = { "Mike", "Dzemo", "Konjo"}; string bestFrog =""; int bestFrog = frogNames[0];

String bestFrog = frogNames[0];

This is the right code. In your code you created an empty string (String should start with capital letter btw), and later you initialized new variable bestFrog of type integer and assigned to it String value. You cannot do this, you have to create a variable of type String and assign a value of type String to it.
