Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

I keep getting: "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing." but my code seems correct

script.js 
var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick'];
console.log(players[5]);
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">

<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>

What's the task's question?

The script.js file contains an array of string values -- the names of players in a game. Let's practice using array indices to access individual names in the array. Log the first name of the array using the console.log() method.

With most of these challenges with multiple steps, they want you to ADD code to what you already have (most of the time). So in your case, simply log the last element in the array to the console on a new line after logging the first element:

var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick'];
console.log(players[0]);
console.log(players[5]);

Hi, your not logging the first player. I only looked at the first question. If the second question asks for something else you usually need to leave the first answer there

This is what it needs to look like to pass

var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick'];
console.log(players[0])
console.log(players[5])

Ah apologies, makes sense :) i updated 0 to 5 instead of adding another console.log like you have shown thank you!
