I cannot figure out why it is wrong.
var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick'];
console.log(players[5]);

Treehouse TeacherHi there! Your code is functional and correct. However, you have missed this tip given by Treehouse.
Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.
You've altered the code from the first step into code that passes the second step. What it wants is not one console.log()
, but two. The code that passes step two will have a console.log that logs the first item in the array and a console.log that logs the last item.
Hope this helps!

7,485 PointsYour code is fine,
console.log()
logs your data to the console - fire up the browser console and that is where you would see the value of the array. To otherwise display it in the body of the web page use:document.write(players[5])
If this doesn't solve your issue, please elaborate your point further.
