Question

I can’t figure out how to index in to arrays using a variable in PogoScript.

Constants seem to work:

xs = ['beef','wellington','ensemble']
console.log (xs.1) // prints wellington

But variables don’t:

xs = ['beef','wellington','ensemble']
i = 1
console.log (xs.i) // prints undefined

Any ideas?

Had this problem last week couldn’t figure it out myself either.

I created a ticket on the PogoScript GitHub page and got an answer there.

You need to place brackets around the variable to index into the array:

xs = ['beef','wellington','ensemble']
i = 1
console.log (xs.(i)) // prints wellington

Also the Cheat Sheet has now been updated with this info!
