5. Answers Now you try some:
Use this array:
String movies[] = new String[5];
Now you try some:
Add the movie “Don’t Eat the Daisies” to the second spot.
Print the charAt(3) for the movie in the second spot.
Print the movie in the first spot in all uppercase letters. #1
movies[1] = “Don’t Eat the Daisies”;
Remember 1 is the second spot in the array since the array starts at 0 #2
System.out.print(movies[1].charAt(3));
