Make a new variable named var1 that is either a list or a string. Make sure that var1[5], the item with an index value of 5, is the letter "t".
Understood Kenneth's last video on indexes but the wording in the challenge confused me?

Treehouse Moderator 68,423 PointsThe challenge want you to create a variable var1 where the item at index 5 is the letter "t". Since indexes count starting at 0 this would be the 6th letter in a string or the 6th element in a list:
# as a string
var1 = 'marmot'
# as a list
var1 = ['a', 'y', 'b', 'x', 'c', 't']

2,048 PointsHi Chris. Thanks for your response. Just wasnt sure what string or list they meant. I suppose when they said 'create' I should know. Thanks again
