Retrieve 5th item

Why is this not working, not making any sense.

Array 123456

So the 5th item is 6 as you start with 0 So what am I doing wrong? Please help.

array.swift 
// Enter your code below
var arrayOfInts = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
arrayOfInts.append(7)
arrayOfInts += [8]
let value = arrayOfInts[6]

You are retrieving the value 7 at the moment, you need indeed to offset by one but in the opposite direction.
