Tell us what’s happening:

Dear Friends, i do not understand how the value of fighting in slime and other monster being fought represent the index of the in monsters arrays, why should it not be
fighting = monsters[0]; to indicate the index in array instead of
fighting = 0;
Why are we not using bracket notation.
I have passed this level but i have fail to understand something about the index number.
I will really appreciate Your explanation . Thank you.

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: styles.css */


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

function fightSlime() {
  fighting = 0;

}

Hi @Domondi

The global fighting variable is used to set the index number.

This code will access the first object in the monsters array.

This code assigns 0 to the fighting variable.

In later steps you will use the fighting variable to select the monsters array. This way, changing this single variable will access the various array elements.

Happy coding
