What's wrong with my constant?

assigning a constant named 'value' and assigning it the 5th place in the index seems pretty straight forward yet the compiler is telling me its incorrect. Looking at the video from your group and apple documentation it appears that i am writing it correctly. Is there a an error on your end or mine?

array.swift 
// Enter your code below
var arrayOfInts = [0,1,2,3,4,5]
arrayOfInts.append(4)
arrayOfInts += [7]
arrayOfInts.value(4)
let value = arrayOfInts[4]

Hi there! You have one line that's causing the problem. This isn't a valid Swift statement for arrays. Remove this:

arrayOfInts.value(4)

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
