JavaScript Loops, Arrays, Objects - Challenge Task 2 of 2 has an error console.log(players[5]); should work.

Question is ' Now, use console.log() to log out the last item in the array.' I typed as follows,

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

but it won't work. I don't know why...

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

It is quiz about anyArray.length method. Did you try to get it this way?

console.log(players[players.length]);

Oh, I've got it. This quizz ask you to provide two lines of code:

console.log(players[0]);
console.log(players[5]);

Oh! You're right! I had to add another line of code!

Thank you so much Daniel!

There is no need to add .length to players. It works fine without it.
