56533eb9ac21ba0edf2244cd	Accessing Nested Arrays	1	https://scrimba.com/c/cLeGDtZ	16160

--description--

As we have seen in earlier examples, objects can contain both nested objects and nested arrays. Similar to accessing nested objects, Array bracket notation can be chained to access nested arrays.

Here is an example of how to access a nested array:

var ourPets = [
  {
    animalType: "cat",
    names: [
      "Meowzer",
      "Fluffy",
      "Kit-Cat"
    ]
  },
  {
    animalType: "dog",
    names: [
      "Spot",
      "Bowser",
      "Frankie"
    ]
  }
];
ourPets[0].names[1]; // "Fluffy"
ourPets[1].names[0]; // "Spot"

--instructions--

Retrieve the second tree from the variable myPlants using object dot and array bracket notation.

--hints--

secondTree should equal "pine".

assert(secondTree === 'pine');

Your code should use dot and bracket notation to access myPlants.

assert(/=\s*myPlants\[1\].list\[1\]/.test(code));

--seed--

--after-user-code--

(function(x) {
  if(typeof x != 'undefined') {
    return "secondTree = " + x;
  }
  return "secondTree is undefined";
})(secondTree);

--seed-contents--

// Setup
var myPlants = [
  {
    type: "flowers",
    list: [
      "rose",
      "tulip",
      "dandelion"
    ]
  },
  {
    type: "trees",
    list: [
      "fir",
      "pine",
      "birch"
    ]
  }
];

// Only change code below this line

var secondTree = ""; // Change this line

--solutions--

var myPlants = [
  {
    type: "flowers",
    list: [
      "rose",
      "tulip",
      "dandelion"
    ]
  },
  {
    type: "trees",
    list: [
      "fir",
      "pine",
      "birch"
    ]
  }
];

// Only change code below this line

var secondTree = myPlants[1].list[1];
