# --description--
|
|
|
|
One way to think of a <dfn>multi-dimensional</dfn> array, is as an *array of arrays*. When you use brackets to access your array, the first set of brackets refers to the entries in the outer-most (the first level) array, and each additional pair of brackets refers to the next level of entries inside.
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var arr = [
|
|
[1,2,3],
|
|
[4,5,6],
|
|
[7,8,9],
|
|
[[10,11,12], 13, 14]
|
|
];
|
|
arr[3];
|
|
arr[3][0];
|
|
arr[3][0][1];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`arr[3]` is `[[10, 11, 12], 13, 14]`, `arr[3][0]` is `[10, 11, 12]`, and `arr[3][0][1]` is `11`.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** There shouldn't be any spaces between the array name and the square brackets, like `array [0][0]` and even this `array [0] [0]` is not allowed. Although JavaScript is able to process this correctly, this may confuse other programmers reading your code.

# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Using bracket notation select an element from `myArray` such that `myData` is equal to `8`.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`myData` should be equal to `8`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(myData === 8);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should be using bracket notation to read the correct value from `myArray`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(/myData=myArray\[2\]\[1\]/.test(__helpers.removeWhiteSpace(code)));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## --after-user-code--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
if(typeof myArray !== "undefined"){(function(){return "myData: " + myData + " myArray: " + JSON.stringify(myArray);})();}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## --seed-contents--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var myArray = [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9], [[10,11,12], 13, 14]];
|
|
|
|
var myData = myArray[0][0];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --solutions--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var myArray = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6], [7,8,9], [[10,11,12], 13, 14]];
|
|
var myData = myArray[2][1];
|
|
```
