# ACCESSING ARRAY VALUES

Array elements can be accessed through index number.

Index number starts from zero to array's property length minus one.

Here is an example:


```js
	var pets = ['cat', 'dog', 'rat'];

	console.log(pets[0]);
```

The above code will print the first element of `pets` array - string `cat`.

Array elements must be accessed through only using bracket notation.

Dot notation is invalid.

Valid notation:

```js
	console.log(pets[0]);
```

Invalid notation:
```
	console.log(pets.1);
```

## The challenge:

Create a file named `accessing-array-values.js`.

In that file, define array `food` :
```js
var food = ['apple', 'pizza', 'pear'];
```


Use `console.log()` to print the `second` value of array to the terminal.

Check to see if your program is correct by running this command:

`javascripting verify accessing-array-values.js`
