calling t the index of 5?

I am stuck on how i'm supposed to write this. This is how i'm thinking it works, but it's wrong. Can you show me why?

index.py 
var1 = [0,1,2,3,4,5]
t= var1[5]

You need to make a variable named var1 and the value of var1[5] should be the letter t - should look something like this:

var1 = "pyyyython"

I hope this is helpfull
