Treehouse TeacherHi there, Jason Sizemore! The syntax is correct. You're doing everything correctly now, but on the first step part of the mystery message got cut off somehow. I'm not sure how this passed the first step or if maybe something was altered on the second step, but the initial variable should look like this:
var mysteryMessage = new byte[] {89, 0, 97, 0, 121, 0, 33, 0};
The 121, 0, 33, 0 are missing from yours. But once I put them back in, this passes with flying colors!
Hope this helps!

1,463 PointsThanks Jennifer, I later saw that there were extra numbers in the array needed and for some reason did not see them until after re-reading it a couple of times. The thing that through me off is the first challenge passed with out all the numbers in the array.
