"create a loop that goes through each of the names in the $names array." I am not sure what is meant by "goes through"

My feeling is that perhaps I'm missing the "as" comparison, but I'm not sure what it would be in this example.

foreach($names){ echo $names; }

index.php 
<?php 
$names = array('Mike', 'Chris', 'Jane', 'Bob');
foreach($names){
  echo $names;
}
?>

Try adding as $name and then echo out $name.

$names = array('Mike', 'Chris', 'Jane', 'Bob'); foreach($names as $name){ echo $name; }
