  • In these examples you will be getting data from /worldl.json this is a list of 195 countries in json format
  • The program snippet shows the name of country 42.
  • Change it so it shows the name of country 50.
  • See if you can find your country.
fetch('/worldl.json')
  .then((r)=>r.json())
  .then((r)=>{
     let tgt = r[42];
     document.body.innerHTML = tgt.name;
  });
fetch('/worldl.json')
  .then((r)=>r.json())
  .then((r)=>{
     let tgt = r[50];
     document.body.innerHTML = tgt.name;
