Freecodecamp: Nested arrays in JSON bug?

[billsrambo]

Example code doesn't match the code in the problem window --

Example:
var ourPets = {
"cats": [
"Meowzer",...

Problem:
var myPlants = [
{
type: "flowers",
list: [
"rose",...

Changing the problem code to match the example by removing type: and list: (with brackets to match) satisfies the first requirement ("secondTree should equal "pine"") but the second requirement ("Use dot and bracket notation to access myPlants") will not update when what I assume is the correct answer is used: myPlants.trees[1]

If the problem code is left alone and the above answer is entered, this problem occurs: "TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of undefined"

Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.

My code:

// Setup
var myPlants = [
  { 
    type: "flowers",
    list: [
      "rose",
      "tulip",
      "dandelion"
    ]
  },
  {
    type: "trees",
    list: [
      "fir",
      "pine",
      "birch"
    ]
  }  
];

// Only change code below this line

var secondTree = myPlants.trees[1]; // Change this line

Hello billsrambo
One way to solve the problem is: var secondTree = myPlants[1].list[1];
This is because myPlants is an array with 2 items (flowers and trees ,with myPlants[1] indicate the second one= trees ) .

// Setup
var myPlants = [
{
type: "flowers",
list: [
"rose",
"tulip",
"dandelion"
]
},
{
type: "trees",
list: [
"fir",
"pine",
"birch"
]
}
];

// Only change code below this line
var secondTree = myPlants[1].list[1]; // Change this line

@llovera is correct. In the future, please ask for help in Help Chat.

Thanks and Happy Coding!

Thanks LLovera. I really had a hard time with this one. And didn't get much help in the Help Chat.

Once I am able to see the solution I am able to put it together and get a real understanding on how it works.

Thanks again.

Array is numbered from"0" not "1".

`// Setup
var myPlants = [
{
type: "flowers",
list: [
"rose",
"tulip",
"dandelion"
]
},
{
type: "trees",
list: [
"fir",
"pine",
"birch"
]
}
];

// Only change code below this line

var secondTree = myPlants[1].list[1]; // Change this line`

This worked for me.
