Hey, I am very new to learning javascript, and the course I am taking did not touch on dot operators for very long. Could someone please explain dot operators for me more in depth? Thanks!
object.property
The dot operator is the notation used to access properties that exist within the object context.
const lassie = {
breed: 'Collie',
color: 'ginger/white',
weight: '25kg',
age: '6yr'
}
The object literal above has own properties, ‘breed’, ‘color’, ‘weight’, ‘age’. We access them using dot notation:
console.log(lassie.breed) // Collie
console.log(lassie.color) // ginger/white
console.log(lassie.weight) // 25kg
console.log(lassie.age) // 6yr
