String [] sports = { "bestSport", "Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis" }; Is "bestSport" declared first in this code?

My goal is to declare "bestSports" as the first variable in this array. Does this look right to you? I'm unable to move forward

Array.java 
String [] sports = { "bestSport", "Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis" };

The issue might be that it is 'bestSport', not 'bestSports'. Is that it?

No, that didn't help. I figured out how to move on with the course. I hate leaving the challenge unanswered but I have to move on :)

I got it!

You create an empty string:

String bestSport;

Then assign it to the first string in the sports array:

bestSport = sports[0];

Or I think you could do it all in one line:

String bestSport = sports[0];
