Object entries in Javascript - Mini Project: Build & Apply

Object entries

📖 Scenario: You have a small online store. You keep a list of products and their prices in an object.You want to see each product with its price printed out clearly.

🎯 Goal: Build a program that uses Object.entries() to get product names and prices, then prints each product with its price.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create an object called products with exact entries: 'apple': 1.2, 'banana': 0.5, 'orange': 0.8

Create a variable called entries that stores Object.entries(products)

Use a for loop with variables product and price to iterate over entries

Print each product and price in the format: Product: apple, Price: 1.2

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Objects are used to store related data like product lists, user info, or settings in many programs.

💼 Career

Understanding how to work with objects and their entries is essential for web development and JavaScript programming jobs.

1

Create the products object

Create an object called products with these exact entries: 'apple': 1.2, 'banana': 0.5, 'orange': 0.8

Javascript

// Your code here

Need a hint?

Use curly braces {} to create an object and separate entries with commas.

2

Get entries from the products object

Create a variable called entries that stores Object.entries(products)

Javascript

const products = { 'apple': 1.2, 'banana': 0.5, 'orange': 0.8 };
// Your code here

Need a hint?

Use Object.entries() to get an array of key-value pairs from the object.

3

Loop over the entries

Use a for loop with variables product and price to iterate over entries

Javascript

const products = { 'apple': 1.2, 'banana': 0.5, 'orange': 0.8 };
const entries = Object.entries(products);
// Your code here

Need a hint?

Use for (const [product, price] of entries) to get each product and price.

4

Print each product and price

Inside the loop, print each product and price in the format: Product: apple, Price: 1.2

Javascript

const products = { 'apple': 1.2, 'banana': 0.5, 'orange': 0.8 };
const entries = Object.entries(products);
for (const [product, price] of entries) {
    // Your code here
}

Need a hint?

Use console.log with a template string to print the product and price.
