# --description--
|
|
|
|
You can also use <dfn>bracket notation</dfn> to get the character at other positions within a string.
|
|
|
|
Remember that computers start counting at `0`, so the first character is actually the zeroth character.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var firstName = "Ada";
|
|
var secondLetterOfFirstName = firstName[1];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`secondLetterOfFirstName` would have a value of the string `d`.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Let's try to set `thirdLetterOfLastName` to equal the third letter of the `lastName` variable using bracket notation.
|
|
|
|
**Hint:** Try looking at the example above if you get stuck.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
The `thirdLetterOfLastName` variable should have the value of `v`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(thirdLetterOfLastName === 'v');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should use bracket notation.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(code.match(/thirdLetterOfLastName\s*?=\s*?lastName\[.*?\]/));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --seed--
|
|
|
|
## --after-user-code--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
(function(v){return v;})(thirdLetterOfLastName);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## --seed-contents--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Setup
|
|
var lastName = "Lovelace";
|
|
|
|
// Only change code below this line
|
|
var thirdLetterOfLastName = lastName; // Change this line
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --solutions--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var lastName = "Lovelace";
|
|
var thirdLetterOfLastName = lastName[2];
|
|
```
