## Accessing Nested Arrays
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Accessing elements within an array using bracket notation `[]`
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var fruitBasket = ['apple', 'banana' 'orange', 'melon'];
|
||
|
|
var favoriteFruit = fruitBasket[2];
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
console.log(favoriteFruit) // 'orange'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
In this example, our favourite fruit is 'orange' which is at index `2` in the `fruitBasket` array. Using braket notation, we assign index `2` of the `fruitBasket` array to `favoriteFruit`. This makes `favoriteFruit` equal to 'orange'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Accessing objects within arrays using braket `[]` and dot `.` notation
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var garage = [
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
type: 'car',
|
||
|
|
color: 'red',
|
||
|
|
make: 'Ford'
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
type: 'motorbike',
|
||
|
|
color: 'black',
|
||
|
|
make: 'Yamaha'
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
type: 'bus',
|
||
|
|
color: 'yellow',
|
||
|
|
make: 'Blue Bird'
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
];
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var busColor = garage[2].color; // 'yellow'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Solution:
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
// Setup
|
||
|
|
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];
|
||
|
|
```
