Stuck at this error Bummer: Use [ ] and a number to access an item in an array. For example, `players[1]

I am actually accessing it using players[5] and it works on console but still I am getting this error.

Any ideas?

script.js 
const players = ['Toni', 'Anwar', 'Mali', 'Carlos', 'Cormac', 'Sariah'];
console.log(players[5]);

Remember the note in the instructions: "Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task."

Assuming you're on task 2, you've solved it but you also removed the line that solves task 1. Both lines must be present for the solution to pass.

And if you're still on task 1, it asks you to log "the first name inside the array" but this code logs the last one.

Thanks Steven. My issue was, I had removed task 1 solution, It started working when I added that back in.
