Question

I have a generated nested Array which I store some data.

How can i get the 3rd nested array (in this case the array starting with “yellow”)

the array looks like this (this is a dynamically generated array):

[
    ["Large", 
       ["yellow", "green", "Blue"],
       ["$55.00", "$55.00", "$55.00"]
     ]
    ["Medium",
       ["yellow", "green", "Blue", "Red"],
       ["$55.00", "$55.00", "$55.00", "$55.00"]
    ]
    ["small",
       ["yellow", "green", "Blue", "Red"],
       ["$55.00", "$55.00", "$55.00", "$55.00"]
    ]
]

I am trying to get to the [“yellow”, “green”, “Blue”] array’s length and loop to get the values

for(i=0; colorNSize.dataArray[0][0][1].length<i; i++){
    alert(colorNSize.dataArray[colorNSize.Sizeindex][0][0][i])// alert's A (which is the char[1] of the second array.
}

alert(colorNSize.dataArray[0][0][1].length) actually alerts the length of “Large” which is “5”
is there a limit for nested arrays?
Can i still get the real 3rd array nested here?

Answer 1

Your formatting is probably wrong – does “Large” reside in the same array as the array of colors and then prices? Indentation tells it is, brackets say it’s all nested. Have you forgotten a bracket after the array of prices?

Anyway, [0][0][1] already refers to chars of “Large”. [0][0] is “Large”, [0][1] is the other array.

Consider this simplified example:

>>> arr = [['large', [[1, 2], [3, 4]]]]
[["large", [[1, 2], [3, 4]]]]
>>> arr[0]
["large", [[1, 2], [3, 4]]]
>>> arr[0][0]
"large"
>>> arr[0][1]
[[1, 2], [3, 4]]
>>> arr[0][1][0]
[1, 2]

Can you see what’s going on?
