Set lap3 to the value in the third item of the finalLapTimes array.

I've got an error this is what i've done, any help is highly appreciate it. I show all set of questions but the last one i cant get it!!

Set lap3 to the value in the third item of the finalLapTimes array.

double[] lapTimes = new double[4]; lapTimes[0] = 2.2; double [] finalLapTimes = new double[4]{2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.8}; double lap3 = 2.5; finalLapTimes[2] = lap3;

Did you index into the third item of the 'finalLapTimes' array? finalLapTimes[3] = lap3; Did you index into the third item of the 'finalLapTimes' array?

CodeChallenge.cs 
double[] lapTimes = new double[4];
lapTimes[0] = 2.2;
double [] finalLapTimes  = new double[4]{2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.8};
double lap3 = 2.5;
finalLapTimes[3] = lap3;

The instructions say "Set lap3 to the value in the third item of the finalLapTimes array."

But they want you to retrieve the value from the array, not just make an assignment with a copy of the literal value that was put into it.

Ricardo Ponce — I admire your incentive to learn English and programming at the same time!

Anyway, glad to help. You can mark a question solved by choosing a "best answer".
And happy coding!
