javascript object expression notation is not working properly [duplicate]

Question

I am new to javascript language. The format is given on web, I tried but it giving the undefined result.

var name = {
  a : 'a',
  b:'b',c:'c'
};
console.log(name.a);// undefined
console.log(name);// '[object object]'

The output is undefined ? why

Answer 1

You have a conflict with window.name. If you use name in a global context, the value is stringified. The solution is to use the variable only within a function context instead, or anywhere outside of global scope:

var f = function(){
  var name = {
    a : "a",
    b : "b",
    c : "c"
  };
  console.log(name.a);
  console.log(name);
}

f();
