Hello ,
Return only 'words' instead of '[]words' as it is already in array formed .

thanks

The error occurs because you are using invalid syntax.
Think about it this way:
Your method splitwords is declared as returning an array of strings (string[]).
Then the local variable words is also declared as being an array of strings (string[]).
String.Split returns an array of strings so your assignment to variable words also matches its type.
So since the variable words and the return type of the method are of the same type, what do you think
you should return?

I shall say no more, words!
