23,406 PointsQ about charAt
I am at the challenge task 3 about JavaScript, where I am supposed to find the 10th character in the .quick string. The 10th char in the string is the b in the word 'brown'. I tried to solve the task doing this: var .....= quick.charAt(10); The challenge console returned "Bummer! Was expecting a ' ', got a 'b'.
"Isn't it exactly what should happen?

the 10th character is at the 9th index, which is a space
try
var tenthCharacter = quick.charAt(9);
see the documentation on charAt() for more information on the function.
