--description--

The last challenge created an object with various properties. Now you'll see how to access the values of those properties. Here's an example:

js
let duck = {
  name: "Aflac",
  numLegs: 2
};
console.log(duck.name);

Dot notation is used on the object name, duck, followed by the name of the property, name, to access the value of Aflac.

--instructions--

Print both properties of the dog object to your console.

--hints--

Your code should use console.log to print the value for the name property of the dog object.

js
assert(/console.log\(.*dog\.name.*\)/g.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)));

Your code should use console.log to print the value for the numLegs property of the dog object.

js
assert(/console.log\(.*dog\.numLegs.*\)/g.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)));
