I am trying to understand the nested arrays and how to index into them. It states that nestedArray[2][1][0][0][0] is how you would index into ‘deepest-est?’ . However I don’t understand where the final [0] comes from.
I highlighted the nested arrays in the following image, and I don’t get why nestedArray[2][1][0][0] does not index to ‘deepest est?’. Can anyone please explain where the final [0] comes from? I would appreciate any help.

Hi Travis
You did well, you just add an extra [0] to your code. It should be:
nestedArray[2][1][0][0]
I hope it helps, happy coding and keep the good work! 
P.S. Some times what we need is just take a break and rest, it is important.

Hey carlosvisator, sorry but I am still confused. freeCodeCamp says it should be nestedArray [2][1][0][0][0]. I think it should be nestedArray[2][1][0][0]. Are you saying what I think it should be is correct?
Also thank you for helping!
Try pasting that example array code in the editor and use the console.log(nestedArray[2][1][0][0][0]) and add and remove that last [0] and see if you can understand whay you need that extra [0]. Would [2][1][0][0] get you the string ‘deepest-est?’, or would it just be an array holding that string?

Hi Travis
Sorry, with my code you access to the array it self
[ 'deepest-est?' ]
And then with extra [0]… you know already, right?
You could put some random items inside every array in that example. I think that will be helpful to better understanding the code. Examples too simple sometimes are not good for better understanding.

I hope that make more sense.
Happy code!
