[SOLVED] Working with nested objects. What do 'car', 'inside', and 'outside' specify here

Working with nested objects. What do 'car', 'inside', and 'outside' specify here

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

I can understand 'glove box' is the property and its value is 'maps', but what about 'car', 'inside' and 'outside'. Are they also properties or the values of car? I can recognise with a comma that we have two objects here, but where do these start. Please elaborate on this.

Solution

myStorage is an object with the property car. car is also an object with two properties, inside and outside

Properties are the values associated with a JavaScript object.

A JavaScript object is a collection of unordered properties.

So in this case, car is both an object (data type) and a property (value associated with myStorage)

I'd recommend reading up on JavaScript data structures: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures
