--description--
You may have heard the term object
before.
Objects are similar to arrays
, except that instead of using indexes to access and modify their data, you access the data in objects through what are called properties
.
Objects are useful for storing data in a structured way, and can represent real world objects, like a cat.
Here's a sample cat object:
const cat = {
"name": "Whiskers",
"legs": 4,
"tails": 1,
"enemies": ["Water", "Dogs"]
};
In this example, all the properties are stored as strings, such as name
, legs
, and tails
. However, you can also use numbers as properties. You can even omit the quotes for single-word string properties, as follows:
const anotherObject = {
make: "Ford",
5: "five",
"model": "focus"
};
However, if your object has any non-string properties, JavaScript will automatically typecast them as strings.
--instructions--
Make an object that represents a dog called myDog
which contains the properties name
(a string), legs
, tails
and friends
.
You can set these object properties to whatever values you want, as long as name
is a string, legs
and tails
are numbers, and friends
is an array.
--hints--
myDog
should contain the property name
and it should be a string
.
assert(
(function (z) {
if (
z.hasOwnProperty('name') &&
z.name !== undefined &&
typeof z.name === 'string'
) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
})(myDog)
);
myDog
should contain the property legs
and it should be a number
.
assert(
(function (z) {
if (
z.hasOwnProperty('legs') &&
z.legs !== undefined &&
typeof z.legs === 'number'
) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
})(myDog)
);
myDog
should contain the property tails
and it should be a number
.
assert(
(function (z) {
if (
z.hasOwnProperty('tails') &&
z.tails !== undefined &&
typeof z.tails === 'number'
) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
})(myDog)
);
myDog
should contain the property friends
and it should be an array
.
assert(
(function (z) {
if (
z.hasOwnProperty('friends') &&
z.friends !== undefined &&
Array.isArray(z.friends)
) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
})(myDog)
);
myDog
should only contain all the given properties.
assert(
(function (z) {
return Object.keys(z).length === 4;
})(myDog)
);
