Hi Rico, in your array I think its missing a few values they want you to have 6 items in your array. In the next part of this challenge you have to append items to the array the two different ways they showed you. The first is the append method the second is by using the insert method. You have to use dot notation after the name of the array to access them. I would recommend loading code challenges into Xcode instead of only solving them here. It gives you good clues as you type. For the code above you are trying to append two values and if you type this into Xcode it'll give you an error "extra argument in call". So only append one value at a time 

var example = [23,4,6,3,5,9]

example.append(43)

// nameOfArray.append( a value that is the same type as the array)

hope this helps !
