## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
The second way to access the properties of an object is bracket notation (<code>[]</code>). If the property of the object you are trying to access has a space in its name, you will need to use bracket notation.
|
|
However, you can still use bracket notation on object properties without spaces.
|
|
Here is a sample of using bracket notation to read an object's property:
|
|
<blockquote>var myObj = {<br> "Space Name": "Kirk",<br> "More Space": "Spock",<br> "NoSpace": "USS Enterprise"<br>};<br>myObj["Space Name"]; // Kirk<br>myObj['More Space']; // Spock<br>myObj["NoSpace"]; // USS Enterprise</blockquote>
|
|
Note that property names with spaces in them must be in quotes (single or double).

## Instructions
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
|
Read the values of the properties <code>"an entree"</code> and <code>"the drink"</code> of <code>testObj</code> using bracket notation and assign them to <code>entreeValue</code> and <code>drinkValue</code> respectively.

|
## Tests
|
|
<section id='tests'>
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: <code>entreeValue</code> should be a string
|
|
testString: assert(typeof entreeValue === 'string' , '<code>entreeValue</code> should be a string');
|
|
- text: The value of <code>entreeValue</code> should be <code>"hamburger"</code>
|
|
testString: assert(entreeValue === 'hamburger' , 'The value of <code>entreeValue</code> should be <code>"hamburger"</code>');
|
|
- text: <code>drinkValue</code> should be a string
|
|
testString: assert(typeof drinkValue === 'string' , '<code>drinkValue</code> should be a string');
|
|
- text: The value of <code>drinkValue</code> should be <code>"water"</code>
|
|
testString: assert(drinkValue === 'water' , 'The value of <code>drinkValue</code> should be <code>"water"</code>');
|
|
- text: You should use bracket notation twice
|
|
testString: assert(code.match(/testObj\s*?\[('|")[^'"]+\1\]/g).length > 1, 'You should use bracket notation twice');
|
|
|
|
```

## Challenge Seed
|
|
<section id='challengeSeed'>
|
|
|
|
<div id='js-seed'>
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Setup
|
|
var testObj = {
|
|
"an entree": "hamburger",
|
|
"my side": "veggies",
|
|
"the drink": "water"
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// Only change code below this line
|
|
|
|
var entreeValue = testObj; // Change this line
|
|
var drinkValue = testObj; // Change this line
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
### After Test
|
|
<div id='js-teardown'>
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
(function(a,b) { return "entreeValue = '" + a + "', drinkValue = '" + b + "'"; })(entreeValue,drinkValue);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</div>
