# subscript(_:) Accesses the element at the specified position. ``` subscript(i: RangeSet.Ranges.Index) -> RangeSet.Ranges.Element { get } ``` ## Overview The following example accesses an element of an array through its subscript to print its value: ``` var streets = ["Adams", "Bryant", "Channing", "Douglas", "Evarts"] print(streets[1]) // Prints "Bryant" ``` You can subscript a collection with any valid index other than the collection’s end index. The end index refers to the position one past the last element of a collection, so it doesn’t correspond with an element. > Complexity: O(1) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
