56533eb9ac21ba0edf2244cc	Accessing Nested Objects	1	https://scrimba.com/c/cRnRnfa	16161	accessing-nested-objects

--description--

The sub-properties of objects can be accessed by chaining together the dot or bracket notation.

Here is a nested object:

var ourStorage = {
  "desk": {
    "drawer": "stapler"
  },
  "cabinet": {
    "top drawer": { 
      "folder1": "a file",
      "folder2": "secrets"
    },
    "bottom drawer": "soda"
  }
};
ourStorage.cabinet["top drawer"].folder2;
ourStorage.desk.drawer;

ourStorage.cabinet["top drawer"].folder2 would be the string secrets, and ourStorage.desk.drawer would be the string stapler.

--instructions--

Access the myStorage object and assign the contents of the glove box property to the gloveBoxContents variable. Use dot notation for all properties where possible, otherwise use bracket notation.

--hints--

gloveBoxContents should equal the string maps.

assert(gloveBoxContents === 'maps');

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

assert(/=\s*myStorage\.car\.inside\[\s*("|')glove box\1\s*\]/g.test(code));

--seed--

--after-user-code--

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

--seed-contents--

var myStorage = {
  "car": {
    "inside": {
      "glove box": "maps",
      "passenger seat": "crumbs"
     },
    "outside": {
      "trunk": "jack"
    }
  }
};

var gloveBoxContents = undefined;

--solutions--

var myStorage = {
  "car":{
    "inside":{
      "glove box":"maps",
      "passenger seat":"crumbs"
    },
    "outside":{
      "trunk":"jack"
    }
  }
};
var gloveBoxContents = myStorage.car.inside["glove box"];
