Accessing Nested Objects

Accessing Nested Objects

Clue: " Use bracket notation for properties with a space in their name."

If we look at our object:

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

Our object name is myStorage.

|-- Inside that we have a nested object called car.

|--- Inside that we have two more called inside and outside each with their own properties

You can visualize the object structure like this, if it helps:

myStorage
|-- car
|--- inside
|----- glove box: maps
|----- passenger seat: crumbs
|--- outside
|----- trunk: jack

We are asked to assign the contents of glove box , which we can see is nested in the inside object, which in turn, is nested in the car object.

We can use dot notation to access the glove box as follows:

var gloveBoxContents = myStorage.car.inside'complete here'

You must replace complete here with the correct way to access the property. See clue above if you get stuck.
