title: Use Dot Notation to Access the Properties of an Object
challengeType: 1
---
## Description
<section id='description'>
The last challenge created an <code>object</code> with various <code>properties</code>, now you'll see how to access the values of those <code>properties</code>. Here's an example:
<blockquote>let duck = {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;name: "Aflac",<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;numLegs: 2<br>};<br>console.log(duck.name);<br>// This prints "Aflac" to the console</blockquote>
Dot notation is used on the <code>object</code> name, <code>duck</code>, followed by the name of the <code>property</code>, <code>name</code>, to access the value of "Aflac".
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Print both <code>properties</code> of the <code>dog</code> object below to your console.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml

- text: Your should use <code>console.log</code> to print the value for the <code>name</code> property of the <code>dog</code> object.
testString: assert(/console.log\(.*dog\.name.*\)/g.test(code), 'Your should use <code>console.log</code> to print the value for the <code>name</code> property of the <code>dog</code> object.');
- text: Your should use <code>console.log</code> to print the value for the <code>numLegs</code> property of the <code>dog</code> object.
testString: assert(/console.log\(.*dog\.numLegs.*\)/g.test(code), 'Your should use <code>console.log</code> to print the value for the <code>numLegs</code> property of the <code>dog</code> object.');
```
