I need help to figure out what i'm missing. I've gone though the code and I don't understand why I am getting this error. I new to java and mistakes do tend to happen when learning the syntax please help me fix this return from method.
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

*applied to given types;
*required: int[]
*found: no arguments
*reason: actual and formal argument lists differ
*/in length

System.out.println(testScores[1]);
System.out.println(testScores[2]);
