Multidimensinal array toString?

[podenphant]

I have a Multidimensinal array 'moods'.

red = ["fire","warm"];
blue = ["water","cold"];
black = ["night",dark"];

moods = [red,blue,black];

how do I get the seperate names in moods?

( a function that returns the literal "red" when i ask for *something* moods[0])

regards

moods doesnt know red blue or black. As soon as you create moods and include those arrays, moods stores a reference to the arrays given and not the variable name itself. Just as the variable red points to the place of ["fire","warm"] in memory, so then does moods[0], bypassing the variable red all together.

What you could do is include the actually color in with the string arrays

red = ["red","fire","warm"]

or try something weird like

red = ["fire","warm"];
blue = ["water","cold"];
black = ["night",dark"];
moods = ["red","blue","black"];

moods[0] // "red"
this[moods[0]][0] // "fire"
