You have a couple of problems with the syntax of your code:
1. You need to declare the greeting array as an array of strings before
using it:
String[] greeting = new String[2]
2. The syntax of your for loop is invalid. I'd do it like this:
for (int i=0;i<greeting.length ; i++) {
System.out.println(greeting[i]);
}
So the whole thing would be:
*****************************
public class Welcome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] greeting = new String[2]
greeting[0] = "Welcome";
greeting[1] = "howdy";
for (int i=0;i<greeting.length ; i++)
System.out.println(greeting[i]);
}
}
