14,242 PointsYou can use indexing by placing an index number into a square bracket [].
my_tuple = "I", "love", "python"
item3 = my_tuple
print(len(item3))
print(item3[0])
print(item3[1])
print(item3[2])
print(my_tuple[0])
print(my_tuple[1])
print(my_tuple[2])

47,836 PointsYou're almost there. Your tuple strings need to have parens around them (I don't know why the first task passed without them), and for this task you need to specify the index value of the third element in square brackets. Since the elements begin at zero, the third one is 2. Hope this helps!
