Accessing Nested Object

Tell us what’s happening:
What is wrong with my code? I get an error stating “Use dot and bracket notation to access myStorage”.

Your code so far

// Setup
var myStorage = {
  "car": {
    "inside": {
      "glovebox": "maps",
      "passenger seat": "crumbs"
     },
    "outside": {
      "trunk": "jack"
    }
  }
};

// Only change code below this line

var gloveBoxContents = myStorage.car["inside"].glovebox; // Change this line
var gloveBoxContents = myStorage.car.inside.glovebox;

You were not supposed to change the glove box in the setup.

Now to access a value from a property with spaces (or some other punctuation), you’ll have to use bracket notation. Like inside['glove box'].

var gloveBoxContents = myStorage.car.inside[“glove box”];
