accessing multidimensional array string

Question

I'm trying to access the first and second element of a multidimensional string array. Unsuccessfully.

Here is the code:

If i replace the variables like this example:

var question = location[math[0]] var question = location[math]

It works as intended but displays the answers.

What kind of quiz would that be?!

Should be location[math][0] and location[math][1] respectively. — Artyom Neustroev

Yes, but that would display the answer. location[[0 1]]; Where 0 is the question and 1 is the answer. — Oren

Try ...

var question = location[math][0];

... and ...

var question = location[math][1];

math per the referenced code is simply a number that is from zero to the length of location; this is the proper notation to get the array elements.

First thought is that this isn't the best way of implementing a quiz, since the user can go right ahead and peak at the answers by inspecting the script?

That said, JS doesn't actually have 2D arrays, instead arrays of arrays! See here: JavaScript Multidimensional Arrays so you will need to change it to something like:

answer = location[math][1];

You should then find it works!

Solved it, had to use an object, here is the code.

The quiz is for myself. Thank you for your time
