};
System.out.println("Choose a programmer:");
// TODO: Print out a menu by looping through the programmers array.
/*
The menu should be in the form of (each on a line of its own, starting with 1):
1. Yukihiro Matsumoto
2. David Nolen

Courses Plus Student 1,707 PointsHi Steve! I did it without String pro = programmers[i] ; ....,programmers[i](and this too) I had the same problem, so i did this line in code and it didn't work as well.

It's a formatting issue - the output isn't quite what the challenge was expecting.
Your slightly amended code:
for (int i = 0; i < programmers.length; i++){
String pro = programmers[i];
System.out.printf("%d. %s%n", i+1, pro);
}
This works fine.
Steve.
P.S. My solution was basically the same.
for(int i = 0; i < programmers.length; i++){
System.out.printf("%d. %s%n", i + 1, programmers[i]);
}

Courses Plus Student 1,707 Pointsyeah, the problem was with that space and extra %n. Thx mate!

But the reason your code wasn't quite working was to do with the double
%nand the extra spaces in the menu. The code output was pretty much correct but the challenge is very specific as to what it wanted to see.
