freeCodeCamp Challenge Guide: Accessing Nested Arrays

Accessing Nested Arrays


Hints

Hint 1

Accessing elements within an array using bracket notation []

const fruitBasket = ["apple", "banana", "orange", "melon"];
const 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’.

Hint 2

Accessing objects within arrays using braket [] and dot . notation

const garage = [
  {
    type: "car",
    color: "red",
    make: "Ford"
  },
  {
    type: "motorbike",
    color: "black",
    make: "Yamaha"
  },
  {
    type: "bus",
    color: "yellow",
    make: "Blue Bird"
  }
];

const busColor = garage[2].color; // 'yellow'

// Setup
const myPlants = [
  {
    type: "flowers",
    list: ["rose", "tulip", "dandelion"]
  },
  {
    type: "trees",
    list: ["fir", "pine", "birch"]
  }
];

// Only change code below this line

const secondTree = myPlants[1].list[1];
