Retrieving the 5th item of an array

I was able to find the 5th item on Xcode but on here I am getting an error. Help please :)

arrays.swift 
// Enter your code below
var arrayOfInts: [Int] = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
arrayOfInts.append(4)
arrayOfInts += [6]
arrayOfInts[4]

You did brilliantly actually. The problem is that you missed part of the instructions where it says to get the 5th element (which you did) and assign it to a constant named value: Here's the single line that needs to be changed:

let value = arrayOfInts[4]

By the way, did I mention challenges are picky? :)
