Creating an object with an array variable in java script

Question

I want to create this object but i'm not sure how to create it with the taskGroup variable as an array. This was as far as i could get with it.

function listItem(name, number) {
    this.name = name;
    this.number = number;

    this.taskGroup = taskGroup; 
}

function taskGroup(name, number) {
    taskGroup = [{name, number}];

}

Answer 1

Perhaps you need to rethink how you're creating a task group. Rather than have a taskGroup object, have a task object. Then your taskGroup member in listItem becomes an array of tasks.

function task(name, number) {
   this.name = name;
   this.number = number;
}

function listItem(name, number) {
   this.name = name;
   this.number = number;

   //Don't do both of these -- choose which is appropriate
   //Create an empty array
   this.taskGroup = new Array();

   //or Create an array with one task already defined based on this name and number
   this.taskGroup = [ new task(name, number) ];
}

Then you may access your taskGroup variable like so:

var item = new listItem('one', 1);
var firstTask = item.taskGroup[0];

Answer 2

There is a syntax error. This is a correct array:

taskGroup = [name, number];

Patterns are:

var my_tab = [one, two, three];

var my_object = {one: 1, two: 2, three: 3};
