The first item in an index is 0, not 1, so the item at index 5 in a string would be the 6th character.

can you give me the answer

The answer would be any string or list with a 't' at index 5, so if i modify your original string 'youat' to be 'youatt' then it passes, since the index will now look like this with a 't' at position 5:

0: y 1: o 2: u 3: a 4: t 5: t

k, but what if there are 2 to delete

It should look something like this:

var_one = "client"
