Why am I getting the following error: if (bestSport instanceof String && bestSport == sports[0])

I am trying to access data that is in a String Array and assign it to a String Variable. my code looks like this: String V1 = V2[0]; and I keep getting this error: if (bestSport instanceof String && bestSport == sports[0])

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

hey friend i hope this code will help you out: to access the data in the string array you need to remember that each element is referred to by it's place value. ie. (1st=0, 2nd=1, 3rd=2) in the question it asks you to declare bestSport as a string and assign it to the value of the first elemnt in the array. -----> String bestSport= sports[0];

String[] sports = { "Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis" }; String bestSport = sports[0]; int numberOfSports = sports.length; String lastSport = sports[sports.length-1];
