What should I do?

Create a variable called "first_item" that contains the first item from the "grocery_list" array (index 0).

array.rb 
grocery_list = ["milk", "eggs", "bread", "ice cream", "potatoes", "pie"]

first_item[0] = "milk"

You should try this:

grocery_list = ["milk", "eggs", "bread", "ice cream", "potatoes", "pie"]

first_item = grocery_list[0]
