What is the correct code? I must be missing something...

The task 3 of 3 states: "Declare a String variable named lastSport and set it to be the last element of the sports array."

The existing code is: String[] sports = { "bestSport","Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis" }; String bestSport = sports [0]; int numberOfSports = (sports.length);

The new code I believe should be: String[] sports = { "bestSport","Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis", "lastSport" }; String bestSport = sports [0]; int numberOfSports = (sports.length); String lastSport = sports [4];

But the system keeps saying: Bummer! Make sure you're using the last element of the 'sports' array.

Where did I go wrong?

Array.java 
String[] sports = { "bestSport","Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis", "lastSport" };
String bestSport = sports [0];
int numberOfSports = (sports.length);
String lastSport = sports [4];

Hey Ziva,

You weren't actually supposed to change the sports array. You were supposed to leave it alone. You technically did it correct. Look below:

String[] sports = { "Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis" };
String bestSport = sports [0];
int numberOfSports = sports.length;
String lastSport = sports [2];
