Is This Bad Practice With Objects?

Hello,

I've made a side project to randomly generate an assigned chore to a person. I decided that I'd like to practice using objects to do this, so I created an array of 5 or so objects with a 'name' and 'task' key each.

Then I created a function that randomly selected one of each key and printed them to the document.

I know I could have probably just used a 2-D array, but I wanted to use objects since that's what I'm learning about recently. Was this a good way to use objects, or did I choose a bad way to implement them?

I personally think it was a good idea :+1: The code should be more readable this way. It would be confusing to use a multi-dimensional array.
