If you use .notation you specify the actual name of the property. You can’t use variables like that. If you write something like obj.prop then js will think that the “prop” is a name of a property of the object, it won’t evaluate it as a variable. If I understood you corerctly.

That’s my question literally.
Thanks!

So, always if prop is a variable I should use bracket notation
