Basic JavaScript - Record Collection

Tell us what’s happening:
I just confuse because when i try to set prop to value, i will not get the answer. After i look on other’s hint, they will use records[id][prop] to set the prop to value. Why we use this method, as it looks like 2d array and why not just use recordCollection.id.prop @ recordCollection[id][prop]? Thank you.

Your code so far

// Setup
const recordCollection = {
  2548: {
    albumTitle: 'Slippery When Wet',
    artist: 'Bon Jovi',
    tracks: ['Let It Rock', 'You Give Love a Bad Name']
  },
  2468: {
    albumTitle: '1999',
    artist: 'Prince',
    tracks: ['1999', 'Little Red Corvette']
  },
  1245: {
    artist: 'Robert Palmer',
    tracks: []
  },
  5439: {
    albumTitle: 'ABBA Gold'
  }
};

// Only change code below this line
function updateRecords(records, id, prop, value) {

  if (prop != "tracks" && value != ""){
    recordCollection.id.prop = value;
  }

}

updateRecords(recordCollection, 5439, 'artist', 'ABBA');
