Hello there,

You are very close, but here are the instructions again:

For the cat with the “id” of 2, print to the console the second value in the codeNames array.

You have done this:

For the cat with the “id” of 2, print to the console the codeNames array.

Now, you need to get the second value of the array.

Hope this helps
