I wonder why my script doesn't work. The Bummer suggests the use of [] and a number.. Well I already have done that

I wanted to access Nick, the 4th item in the array. This is my code:

var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick']; console.log (players[5])

Yea, that should be it then. Reload the console, maybe that should fix itself.

Works for me, what error do you get exactly?

This is what I got: "Bummer: There was an error with your code: SyntaxError: Parse error"

But tbh if I tried it in another working space, it works just fine. So maybe the trouble is in the Treehouse console
