# --description--

With JavaScript `array` variables, we can store several pieces of data in one place.

You start an array declaration with an opening square bracket, end it with a closing square bracket, and put a comma between each entry, like this:

`var sandwich = ["peanut butter", "jelly", "bread"]`.

# --instructions--

Modify the new array `myArray` so that it contains both a `string` and a `number` (in that order).

**Hint**  
Refer to the example code in the text editor if you get stuck.

# --hints--

`myArray` should be an `array`.

```js
assert(typeof myArray == 'object');
```

The first item in `myArray` should be a `string`.

```js
assert(typeof myArray[0] !== 'undefined' && typeof myArray[0] == 'string');
```

The second item in `myArray` should be a `number`.

```js
assert(typeof myArray[1] !== 'undefined' && typeof myArray[1] == 'number');
```

# --seed--

## --after-user-code--

```js
(function(z){return z;})(myArray);
```

## --seed-contents--

```js
// Only change code below this line
var myArray = [];
```

# --solutions--

```js
var myArray = ["The Answer", 42];
```
