# --description--
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to get the last letter of a string, you can subtract one from the string's length.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, if `var firstName = "Charles"`, you can get the value of the last letter of the string by using `firstName[firstName.length - 1]`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var firstName = "Charles";
|
||
|
|
var lastLetter = firstName[firstName.length - 1]; // lastLetter is "s"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# --instructions--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use <dfn>bracket notation</dfn> to find the last character in the `lastName` variable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Hint:** Try looking at the example above if you get stuck.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# --hints--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`lastLetterOfLastName` should be "e".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert(lastLetterOfLastName === 'e');
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should use `.length` to get the last letter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert(code.match(/\.length/g).length > 0);
|
||
|
|
```
