Varl[5]

Let's practice with indexes! Make a new variable named var1 that is either a list or a string. Make sure that var1[5], the item with an index value of 5, is the letter "t".

I think I understand the question but I'm not able to type it correctly, Ive reviewed the Index video numerous times and can't seem to get it.

i had: Varl = 'knight'.index(t) which doesn't make sense due to not integers.

I think the answer is simpler than what you are trying to do. Try simply:

var1 = 'knight'

This assigns a value to var1 which has a 't' at index 5, which is all the challenge is asking you to do.

Also note that the last character of var1 is the number 1, not the letter L.
