In arrays, the items inside of the array, or elements, are organized by an index number starting with 0.
// Index: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 9
let someArray = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
In this someArray we have Ints, which start from 1 and end in 10. The index of the first number, which in this case is the number 1, it's actually 0. The index of 2, is 1 . This might be a big confusing, so I will change the array to a different one.
let anotherArray = ["Blue","Black","Yellow","Green"]
In this array we have 4 items of type String. The first item is Blue which has an idex of 0, the Black has an index of 1, the Yellow has and index of 2 and so on.
Hopeful to have helped you.
And to answer your question. Your first item is 0.
Good luck
