What programming language is "Errors"?

VC.J 13-Oct-14 14:28pm

you have a syntax of C# I think so the code like would be like
stringArray[0] = "Hello";
stringArray[1] = "World";

That is the most likely answer.

and which line you are getting this error its not clear from your question and when you are getting this error

line 14 and 15

also the error is "Assets/Scripts/HelloWorld.cs(15,17): error CS0131: The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable, a property or an indexer" on the two lines on unity

Because of the below lines...

C#

stringArray (0) = "Hello";
stringArray (1) = "World";

It should be...

C#

stringArray[0] = "Hello";
stringArray[1] = "World";

Just square brackets. That's it.

        {
            string name = "Jesse Freeman";
            int age = 34;
            float speed = 4.3f;
            bool LikesGame = true;

            var stringArray = new string[2];
            stringArray[0] = "Hello";
            stringArray[1] = "World";

            var phrase = stringArray[0] + " " + stringArray[1];
            Console.WriteLine(phrase);
