# This is RxJS v 4. [Find the latest version here](https://github.com/reactivex/rxjs)### `Rx.Observable.prototype.elementAt(index, [defaultValue])`[Ⓢ](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/src/core/linq/observable/elementat.js "View in source") Returns the element at a specified index in a sequence. If the specified index is out of bounds and no default value was given `onError` will be called with an error, however, if a default value has been specified, that value will be returned via an `onNext` call. #### Arguments1. `index` *(`Number`)*: The zero-based index of the element to retrieve.2. `[defaultValue]` *(`Any`)*: Default value if no such element exists. #### Returns*(`Observable`)*: An observable sequence that produces the element at the specified position in the source sequence. If the specified index is out of bounds and no default value was given `onError` will be called with an error, however, if a default value has been specified, that value will be returned via an `onNext` call. #### Example```js/* Finds an index */var source = Rx.Observable.from([1,2,3,4]) .elementAt(1); var subscription = source.subscribe( function (x) { console.log('Next: %s', x); }, function (err) { console.log('Error: %s', err); }, function () { console.log('Completed'); }); // => Next: 2// => Completed /* With default value */var source = Rx.Observable.from([1,2,3,4]) .elementAt(4, 42); var subscription = source.subscribe( function (x) { console.log('Next: %s', x); }, function (err) { console.log('Error: %s', err); }, function () { console.log('Completed'); }); // => Next: 42// => Completed```### Location File:- [`/src/core/linq/observable/elementat.js`](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/src/core/linq/observable/elementat.js) Dist:- [`rx.all.js`](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/dist/rx.all.js)- [`rx.all.compat.js`](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/dist/rx.all.js)- [`rx.aggregates.js`](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/dist/rx.aggregates.js) Prerequisites:- [`rx.js`](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/dist/rx.js) | [`rx.compat.js`](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/dist/rx.compat.js) | [`rx.lite.js`](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/dist/rx.lite.js) | [`rx.lite.compat.js`](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/dist/rx.lite.compat.js) NPM Packages:- [`rx`](https://www.npmjs.org/package/rx) NuGet Packages:- [`RxJS-All`](http://www.nuget.org/packages/RxJS-All/)- [`RxJS-Aggregates`](http://www.nuget.org/packages/RxJS-Aggregates/) Unit Tests:- [`/tests/observable/elementat.js`](https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/tests/observable/elementat.js)
