int[] numbers = {1,2,3,45};

5,604 PointsHi there! to add to what Manish said, you also have 2 equal signs in your array literal line:
String[] teachers = new String = ["Jay";"Dave";"James"]; //old
String[] teachers = {"name","name","name"}; //new form
You can get rid of the "new String" and the second = sign. (see second line)
