Trailhead challenge:Create an Apex class that returns an array (or list) of strings.

Below is my code:
public class StringArraytest 
{
    public static List<string> generateStringArray(integer n)
    {
        integer i=5;
        List<string> str= new List<string>();
        for(i=0;i<n;i++)
        {
            str.add('test '+i);
            system.debug(str[i]);
        }
        return str;
    }
}

Error: Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
Executing the 'generateStringArray' method failed. Either the method does not exist, is not static, or does not return the proper number of strings.

Hi Bhavesh,

Try the below code:

public class StringArrayTest {

    public static List<String> generateStringArray(Integer length) {
  
        List<String> myArray = new List<String>();
     
        for(Integer i=0;i<length;i++) {
    
            myArray.add('Test ' + i);
         
            System.debug(myArray[i]);
        } 
        return myArray;
    }   
 }

Can you please Let me know if it helps or not!!!

@Bhavnesh  You are missing the Capital T in the text  'Test  '+ i and most likely the space between t and quotes. Please try making these changes.

I have explained this with comments for your understanding
 
public class StringArrayTest 
{  
    //The generateStringArray  function should return a list of Strings|| List<String> and accept an Integer
    public static List<String> generateStringArray(Integer n) //Remember: there is not int in Apex.
    {
        //Create the list that will be returned
        List<String> myList = new List<String>();
        
        //According to the challenge, list should have n items in the form of 'Test n1', 'Test n2' and so on.
        for(Integer i=0; i<n;i++)
        {
            myList.add('Test '+i);
            System.debug('Current String: '+myList.get(i));
        }
        return myList;  
    } 
}
