    Default Obtain string from certain index in a string array

    Hi everyone. I'm new here and this is my first post. I am new to Java as you will see with my current "problem". I have a string array that contains about 10 strings. I know how to find the index of a particular string using but how do I find the string given at a certain index.
    For example:
    String[] strarray = { "duck", "goose", "games", "fun" };

    I want to find the string that is in index 3 of strarray (which would be "fun"). How can I achieve this?
    Thank you for any help.

    how do I find the string given at a certain index.
    You get access to the contents of an array element by using this syntax:
    arrayName[theIndex]

    See the tutorial:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutori...ts/arrays.html
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
