console.log(players[5]); is actually correct? but says it's not...

Says to console log the last item in the array, which is at position 5.

script.js 
var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick'];

console.log(players[5]);
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

Perhaps you overlooked the caution displayed by the challenge: "Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task."

The code shown here is correct for task 2, but the task 1 code seems to be missing.

You only write 5 instead of 0 to win this challenge, but you have to have both of them ( one per line ) otherwise, yes console.log(players[5]); is true :)

I'm having the same issue.

var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'];

months.join(', ');

console.log(months[11]);

This is clearly from a different challenge. Try starting a new question and be sure to show your code and provide a link to the course page.

In the meantime, one hint: the string for "join" should go on the left, and the list should be the argument.

Hi Steven. I apologize as I am a little new to how this message board works. Thanks for advice. I will submit a new question.
