Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

What is wrong with my code? The “v” is the 3rd letter in the word…

// Setup
const lastName = "Lovelace";

// Only change code below this line
const thirdLetterOfLastName = lastName[3]; // Change this line

I would suggest adding a conosle.log so you can see which letter your code is returning

console.log(thirdLetterOfLastName)

Remember that computers start counting at 0

hope that helps

Zero-based indexing. The index numbers begin at zero whether you’re working with strings, arrays or many other forms of data in Javascript.
So, for instance:

let name = "igorgetmeabrain"
console.log(name[0])

This would print ‘i’ to the console, as it’s the first letter of name.
