# --description--
One way to think of a <dfn>multi-dimensional</dfn> array, is as an *array of arrays*. When you use brackets to access your array, the first set of brackets refers to the entries in the outer-most (the first level) array, and each additional pair of brackets refers to the next level of entries inside.
**Example**
```js
const arr = [
[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9],
[[10, 11, 12], 13, 14]
];
const subarray = arr[3];
const nestedSubarray = arr[3][0];
const element = arr[3][0][1];
```
In this example, `subarray` has the value `[[10, 11, 12], 13, 14]`,
`nestedSubarray` has the value `[10, 11, 12]`, and `element` has the value `11` .
**Note:** There shouldn't be any spaces between the array name and the square brackets, like `array [0][0]` and even this `array [0] [0]` is not allowed. Although JavaScript is able to process this correctly, this may confuse other programmers reading your code.
# --instructions--
Using bracket notation select an element from `myArray` such that `myData` is equal to `8`.
# --hints--
`myData` should be equal to `8`.
```js
assert(myData === 8);
```
You should be using bracket notation to read the correct value from `myArray`.
```js
assert(/myData=myArray\[2\]\[1\]/.test(__helpers.removeWhiteSpace(code)));
```
# --seed--
## --after-user-code--
```js
if(typeof myArray !== "undefined"){(function(){return "myData: " + myData + " myArray: " + JSON.stringify(myArray);})();}
```
## --seed-contents--
```js
const myArray = [
[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9],
[[10, 11, 12], 13, 14],
];
const myData = myArray[0][0];
```
# --solutions--
```js
const myArray = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [[10, 11, 12], 13, 14]];
const myData = myArray[2][1];
```
