What am i so post to do now?

I do not understand what it is asking of me to do.

Here's the ? "Declare (AKA create) an int variable named numberOfSports and set it to the number of elements in the array using the array's length property."

Array.java 
String[] sports = { "Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis" };
String bestSport = sports[0];

You need to create a new variable of the integer type and name it numberOfSports:

int numberOfSports

and then you need to assign it the number of items in the sports array using the length command

sports.length

In the end it should look like:

int numberOfSports = sports.length;
