# --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:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var ourPets = [
|
|
{
|
|
animalType: "cat",
|
|
names: [
|
|
"Meowzer",
|
|
"Fluffy",
|
|
"Kit-Cat"
|
|
]
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
animalType: "dog",
|
|
names: [
|
|
"Spot",
|
|
"Bowser",
|
|
"Frankie"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
];
|
|
ourPets[0].names[1];
|
|
ourPets[1].names[0];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`ourPets[0].names[1]` would be the string `Fluffy`, and `ourPets[1].names[0]` would be the string `Spot`.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Using dot and bracket notation, set the variable `secondTree` to the second item in the `trees` list from the `myPlants` object.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`secondTree` should equal the string `pine`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(secondTree === 'pine');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your code should use dot and bracket notation to access `myPlants`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(/=\s*myPlants\[1\].list\[1\]/.test(code));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --seed--
|
|
|
|
## --after-user-code--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
(function(x) {
|
|
if(typeof x != 'undefined') {
|
|
return "secondTree = " + x;
|
|
}
|
|
return "secondTree is undefined";
|
|
})(secondTree);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## --seed-contents--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var myPlants = [
|
|
{
|
|
type: "flowers",
|
|
list: [
|
|
"rose",
|
|
"tulip",
|
|
"dandelion"
|
|
]
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
type: "trees",
|
|
list: [
|
|
"fir",
|
|
"pine",
|
|
"birch"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
var secondTree = "";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --solutions--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var myPlants = [
|
|
{
|
|
type: "flowers",
|
|
list: [
|
|
"rose",
|
|
"tulip",
|
|
"dandelion"
|
|
]
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
type: "trees",
|
|
list: [
|
|
"fir",
|
|
"pine",
|
|
"birch"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
var secondTree = myPlants[1].list[1];
|
|
```
