What happened to Nick?

var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick']; console.log(players[5]);

//Should return Nick right?

script.js 
var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick'];
console.log(players[5]);

Keep both of them together: try:

var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick'];
console.log(players[0]);
console.log(players[5]);

Are you actually running into errors or are you just asking if it should return Nick?

If it is the former, then what errors are you running into? The code you have provided should work perfectly fine!

If it is the latter, then yes it will return Nick, as Nick is in the 5th index.

Thanks everyone! Stivan was right. My issue was that I did not keep both lines of code in sequence. Technically it should have worked but the interpreter did not accept it as the right answer. Once again thanks very much!
