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:
val animals = arrayOf("cat", "dog", "parrot")
println(animals[0]) // Output: cat
println(animals[1]) // Output: dog
println(animals[2]) // Output: parrot
