Perhaps, due to the discussion here, a > change to the instructions may be to state (or something like this) > "It creates a new first name by using the 2nd character of each String > from the array". Note the word change of "using" instead of "taking". Ok, the problem here is the English wording is complete Greek to non English native speakers. Hence, I've updated the instructions with the English wording, and with an example. So now either one will understand the wording, or the example, the goal should be reached, aka knowing what to do.
Note though that all words in homework are important. There is no such more or less important focus.
