If x1 is a string, x1[x2] produces a one-character string consisting of character x2 of x1. x1[x2] produces a variable if x1 is a variable.

If x1 is a list or record, x1[x2] produces element x2 of x1.

If x1 is a table, x1[x2] produces the element corresponding to key x2 of x1.

In all cases, x2 may be nonpositive.

In all cases, the subscripting operation fails if the subscript is out of range.
