LESSON 90 OF 349 · ARRAYS I

Accessing static array elements in Swift in Swift

Lesson

Arrays are ordered, meaning each element has a numbered position known as its index. We access an array element by referring to its index number.

Arrays use zero-based indexing, so the first element in an array has an index of 0, the second element has an index of 1, etc.

We're using bracket notation ([]) with the index after the name of the array to access the element:

let animals = ["cat", "dog", "parrot"]

print(animals[0]) // Output: "cat"
print(animals[1]) // Output: "dog"
print(animals[2]) // Output: "parrot"
