<script>
var names = 'Harry,John,Clark,Peter,Rohn,Alice';

console.log(nameArr);
 
// Accessing individual values
alert(nameArr[0]); // Outputs: Harry
alert(nameArr[1]); // Outputs: John
alert(nameArr[nameArr.length - 1]); // Outputs: Alice
 
var str = 'Hello World!';
var chars = str.split('');
console.log();
 
// Accessing individual values
alert(chars[0]); // Outputs: H
alert(chars[1]); // Outputs: e
alert(chars[chars.length - 1]); // Outputs: !
</script>
