Accessing objects in arrays a bit different?

I just want to confirm this... So when I'm accessing the value of a property (of an object) inside an array, I just do for example... console.log(arrayName.propertyName)

However, if I'm just trying to access the value of an object that ISN'T inside an array, I do for example... console.log(objectName[property].

So that's the only difference in syntax, the bracket.

If you are trying to access an object that is inside an array you would do

arrayName[indexOfObjectInSideArray].propertyName

otherwise you would just do objectName.propertyName

For instance if you had an var arr = [{ propOne : 'hello' }];

You would do arr[0].propOne to access 'hello'
