Associative arrays

Time to add an associative array named $favorite_colors. The keys will be, in order, the following: 'mike', 'jane', & 'chris' with values for each. Those values are 'green', 'blue', & 'yellow'

index.php 
<?php
$integer_one = 1;
$integer_two = 2;
$golden = 1.618;
$bool = True;
$colors = array('red', 'blue', 'green');
echo $colors[1] = 'blue'
$favorite_colors = array('mike' => 'green', 'jane' => 'blue', 'chris' => 'yellow')
//Place your code below this comment

Simbarashe,

The challenge is failing you here because you don't have your echo statement line closed with a semi-colon. Add that and you'll be good to progress. Also, while these issues aren't failing the challenge, they're still good to correct: 1) place a semi-colon at the end of your last statement (with the associative array), and 2) when you're echoing out the second value of your $colors array, do not assign a value. You simply want to retrieve the value stored at the second index of the array, so that's all you'll want to do: retrieve it! echo $colors[1];
