testlist = ["Programming", "Forums"]

I want to print just the 3rd letter in the second cell of the list. I have tried this:

print testlist[1[2]]

But that does'nt work, I get a error saying "unsubscriptable object". What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You're close.

The correct syntax is

print testlist[1][2]
