9,465 PointsWhy is this split(new char[]{' ', '\t'}) incorrect?
"Bummer! 'split(new char[]{' ', '\t'})' is incorrect"
...How comes that string[] words = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog".Split(new char[]{' ', '\t'}); doesn't do the job?

I'll bet you were thinking "whitespace"; but since they are asking explicitly for spaces, it's not correct to include tabs as an additional delimiter. Also, since you only need to specify a single character, you can use a simpler form of the "Split" method.
