bd7123c9c451eddfaeb5bdef	Use Bracket Notation to Find the Last Character in a String	1	https://scrimba.com/c/cBZQGcv	18342

--description--

In order to get the last letter of a string, you can subtract one from the string's length.

For example, if var firstName = "Charles", you can get the value of the last letter of the string by using firstName[firstName.length - 1].

Example:

var firstName = "Charles";
var lastLetter = firstName[firstName.length - 1]; // lastLetter is "s"

--instructions--

Use bracket notation to find the last character in the lastName variable.

Hint: Try looking at the example above if you get stuck.

--hints--

lastLetterOfLastName should be "e".

assert(lastLetterOfLastName === 'e');

You should use .length to get the last letter.

assert(code.match(/\.length/g).length > 0);

--seed--

--after-user-code--

(function(v){return v;})(lastLetterOfLastName);

--seed-contents--

// Setup
var lastName = "Lovelace";

// Only change code below this line
var lastLetterOfLastName = lastName; // Change this line

--solutions--

var lastName = "Lovelace";
var lastLetterOfLastName = lastName[lastName.length - 1];
