title: Use Bracket Notation to Find the Last Character in a String

# --description--
In order to get the last letter of a string, you can subtract one from the string's length.
For example, if `const firstName = "Ada"`, you can get the value of the last letter of the string by using `firstName[firstName.length - 1]`.
Example:
```js
const firstName = "Ada";
const lastLetter = firstName[firstName.length - 1];
```
`lastLetter` would have a value of the string `a`.
# --instructions--
Use <dfn>bracket notation</dfn> to find the last character in the `lastName` variable.
**Hint:** Try looking at the example above if you get stuck.
# --hints--
`lastLetterOfLastName` should be the letter `e`.
```js
assert(lastLetterOfLastName === 'e');
```
You should use `.length` to get the last letter.
```js
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/\.length/g).length > 0);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
// Setup
const lastName = "Lovelace";
// Only change code below this line
const lastLetterOfLastName = lastName; // Change this line
```
# --solutions--
```js
const lastName = "Lovelace";
const lastLetterOfLastName = lastName[lastName.length - 1];
```
