Object amount

Let’s say I have an object... var food = {1: “banana”, 2: “apple”,} How do I count the amount of food using only one line of code? Other languages example: #words #words will output 2

Javascript object not like array, does not have a length property. You need to get the keys array of the object, then only get the length of the keys array. eg. console.log(Object.keys(food).length);

I tried .length, and it caused an error.
