Javascript: select property from object in array

Question

I have a array of objects and I want to select a property of a certain object in that array. When I try the following code, it doesn't work, I don't get any value in the string:

var _string = teams[2].name;

Below the code of the array:

var teams = new Array (team1, team 2, team3);

var team1 = {
     name: "team 1",
     matches: 5 
}


var team2 = {
     name: "team 2",
     matches: 4 
}


var team3 = {
     name: "team 3",
     matches: 3 
}

Some help would be great :-)

Thanks

You should declare your teams first and your array afterwards like this:

var team1 = {
     name: "team 1",
     matches: 5 
}

var team2 = {
     name: "team 2",
     matches: 4 
}

var team3 = {
     name: "team 3",
     matches: 3 
}

var teams = [team1, team2, team3];

Also note there is a space between team and 2 in your code which is incorrect.

Hi Thank you, it was placing the declaration afterwards that did the trick :-) G

There is error var teams = new Array (team1, team 2, team3);and should be var teams = new Array (team1, team2, team3);

You add unnecessary space between team and 2 :)
