Let's practice with indexes! Make a new variable named var1 that is either a list or a string. Make sure that var1[5], the item with an index value of 5, is the letter "t".

8,128 PointsWhat you want to do is create a string or list that has 't' at the index of 5. Remember that all indexes start at 0.

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 2,351 PointsThanks Jeff. I thought it was the letter 'l' LOL
Jeffery Austin
8,128 PointsNo worries, it actually does look like the letter 'l'. It's hard to tell.

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 2,351 PointsThanks Jeffery. Here's my code. I'm getting a syntax error
varl = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "t"] varl = [ 0 1 2 3 4 5 ]
Jeffery Austin
8,128 PointsYou had it right, just missed the naming of the variable, you need var1, like var and the number one '1'
var1 = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "t"]
