Stuck yet again

Here is my goal:

Declare a String variable named 'bestFrog' and initialize it to the first element of the frogNames array.

and here is my code thus far:

String[] frogNames = {
  "bestFrog",
  "mediocreFrog",
  "worstFrog"};

String[] frognames = new bestFrog[0]

You need to declare a variable called bestFrog and set it equal to the first value in the array. If you were to declare a string variable called bestFrog and set it equal to a value, you would do it like this

String bestFrog = "The Green Frog";

And if you had your frogNames array as in the code above and you wanted to do something with the first element in the array (such as print it), you would do it like this

log.i("test", frogNames[0]);

The question wants you to declare a string variable named bestFrog and set it equal to the first value in the array frogNames. So using those two examples as a reference, how would you do that?
