title: Modify Array Data With Indexes
challengeType: 1

## Description
<section id='description'>
Unlike strings, the entries of arrays are <dfn>mutable</dfn> and can be changed freely.
<strong>Example</strong>
```js
var ourArray = [50,40,30];
ourArray[0] = 15; // equals [15,40,30]
```
<strong>Note</strong><br>There shouldn't be any spaces between the array name and the square brackets, like <code>array [0]</code>. Although JavaScript is able to process this correctly, this may confuse other programmers reading your code.
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Modify the data stored at index <code>0</code> of <code>myArray</code> to a value of <code>45</code>.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>myArray</code> should now be [45,64,99].
testString: assert((function(){if(typeof myArray != 'undefined' && myArray[0] == 45 && myArray[1] == 64 && myArray[2] == 99){return true;}else{return false;}})());
- text: You should be using correct index to modify the value in <code>myArray</code>.
testString: assert((function(){if(code.match(/myArray\[0\]\s*=\s*/g)){return true;}else{return false;}})());
```
</section>
## Challenge Seed
<section id='challengeSeed'>
<div id='js-seed'>
```js
// Example
var ourArray = [18,64,99];
ourArray[1] = 45; // ourArray now equals [18,45,99].
// Setup
var myArray = [18,64,99];
// Only change code below this line
```
</div>
### After Test
<div id='js-teardown'>
```js
if(typeof myArray !== "undefined"){(function(){return myArray;})();}
```
</div>
</section>
## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
var myArray = [18,64,99];
myArray[0] = 45;
```
