# --description--
|
|
|
|
We can access the data inside arrays using <dfn>indexes</dfn>.
|
|
|
|
Array indexes are written in the same bracket notation that strings use, except that instead of specifying a character, they are specifying an entry in the array. Like strings, arrays use <dfn>zero-based</dfn> indexing, so the first element in an array has an index of `0`.
|
|

|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var array = [50,60,70];
|
|
array[0];
|
|
var data = array[1];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`array[0]` is now `50`, and `data` has the value `60`.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** There shouldn't be any spaces between the array name and the square brackets, like `array [0]`. Although JavaScript is able to process this correctly, this may confuse other programmers reading your code.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Create a variable called `myData` and set it to equal the first value of `myArray` using bracket notation.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
The variable `myData` should equal the first value of `myArray`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
(function () {
|
|
if (
|
|
typeof myArray !== 'undefined' &&
|
|
typeof myData !== 'undefined' &&
|
|
myArray[0] === myData
|
|
) {
|
|
return true;
|
|
} else {
|
|
return false;
|
|
}
|
|
})()
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The data in variable `myArray` should be accessed using bracket notation.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
(function () {
|
|
if (code.match(/\s*=\s*myArray\[0\]/g)) {
|
|
return true;
|
|
} else {
|
|
return false;
|
|
}
|
|
})()
|
|
);
|
|
```
