On the left-hand side, you have all the methods you can use to manipulate the string. Try to find the appropriate one. It will probably be one that you have already studied in the curriculum.

Actually, I did not read the question.

You should use bracket notation. The syntax is string[index] where index is the number of the letter you want to find. Indexes in JavaScript start at 0 (not 1).
