Students confused by "type of String" in if-statement problem #206

Description

@fwouts

First of all, thanks for making this workshopper!

We facilitated a NodeSchool event in Sydney last weekend, and I saw several students confused by the wording of the following sentence:

Make the fruit variable reference the value orange with the type of String.

It looked like they weren't sure whether they needed to type "String" somewhere.

I'd like to suggest some alternative wordings:

Make the fruit variable reference the string value orange.
Make the fruit variable reference the string value "orange".

Would this help? What do others think?
