Question

I’ve been working with some arrays in javascript. I’ve got a parse error at this line:

var cardData[0] = [
    [
        'Rumble Pack',
        'Robert Mugabe',
        0.2,
        0.7,
        21,
        RuleTypes.dictatorship,
        '88%',
        '45%',
        '\'The Jewel of Africa\', Zimbabwe, returning to the stone age. R.M. let a rabble led by Chenjerai \'Hitler\' Hunzwi murder white farmers at will. 25 % of Zimbabwians HIV-positive. Life expectancy fallen 16 yrs. under R.M.'
    ]
];

Remember that the line is a single line, i don’t know if that makes any difference…
Can someone help me? 🙂 .

Answer 1

var cardData[0] doesn’t work like that. Do this instead:

var cardData = [];
cardData[0] = stuff;

or more simply:

var cardData = [stuff];

var declares a variable with a certain name, and bracket notation is not a valid in a variable name.
