--description--

The sub-properties of objects can be accessed by chaining together the dot or bracket notation.

Here is a nested object:

const ourStorage = {
"desk": {
"drawer": "stapler"
},
"cabinet": {
"top drawer": {
"folder1": "a file",
"folder2": "secrets"
},
"bottom drawer": "soda"
}
};

ourStorage.cabinet["top drawer"].folder2;
ourStorage.desk.drawer;

ourStorage.cabinet["top drawer"].folder2 would be the string secrets, and ourStorage.desk.drawer would be the string stapler.

--instructions--

Access the myStorage object and assign the contents of the glove box property to the gloveBoxContents variable. Use dot notation for all properties where possible, otherwise use bracket notation.

--hints--

gloveBoxContents should equal the string maps.

assert(gloveBoxContents === 'maps');

Your code should use dot notation, where possible, to access myStorage.

assert.match(code, /myStorage\.car\.inside/);

gloveBoxContents should still be declared with const.

assert.match(code, /const\s+gloveBoxContents\s*=/);

You should not change the myStorage object.

const expectedMyStorage = {
"car":{
"inside":{
"glove box":"maps",
"passenger seat":"crumbs"
},
"outside":{
"trunk":"jack"
}
}
};
assert.deepStrictEqual(myStorage, expectedMyStorage);

--after-user-code--

(function(x) { 
if(typeof x != 'undefined') {
return "gloveBoxContents = " + x;
}
return "gloveBoxContents is undefined";
})(gloveBoxContents);

--seed-contents--

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

const gloveBoxContents = undefined;

--solutions--

const myStorage = {
"car":{
"inside":{
"glove box":"maps",
"passenger seat":"crumbs"
},
"outside":{
"trunk":"jack"
}
}
};
const gloveBoxContents = myStorage.car.inside["glove box"];
