Reading an item from array into a variable and assign the result to a constant named value. Can't understand what to do.

Question

Hi,
I'm doing this exercise but im not sure how to do it. Link to the exercise; https://teamtreehouse.com/library/swift-3-collections-and-control-flow/introduction-to-collections/working-with-arrays (3/4).
"We also learned about reading values from an array. Retrieve the 5th item (remember array indexes start at 0) and assign the result to a constant named value."
Heres my code, I tried to comment it aswell. The last 2 lines are the ones im trying to save value into a variable but dont know how to pass this one. Help Guys
 ```swift
// Mission 1
// Making an array of 5 - values, 0 to 5
var arrayOfInts: [Int] = [0,1,2,3,4,5]
// Mission 2
// adding 1 more value with an append
arrayOfInts.append(6)
// adding 1 more value with a other style
arrayOfInts = arrayOfInts + [7]
//Mission 3
// saving arrays 5th items into a variable
let eiOleValia = arrayOfInts[4]
//print out the variable
eiOleValia
 ```
Thanks in advance!

So the challenge actually ask you to assign the fifth element in the array to a constant called value. In all the other challenges they put variable and constant names in a different font so their name are a little bit more clear. I guess they forgot to do that for this challenge. Here is what you code should look like: 
```swift
// Mission 1
// Making an array of 5 - values, 0 to 5
var arrayOfInts: [Int] = [0,1,2,3,4,5]
// Mission 2
// adding 1 more value with an append
arrayOfInts.append(6)
// adding 1 more value with a other style
arrayOfInts = arrayOfInts + [7]
//Mission 3
// saving arrays 5th items into a variable
let value = arrayOfInts[4]
```
