// Use of _.get method
console.log(_.get(object, 'c[0].python.java'));

Javascript




// Requiring the lodash library 
const _ = require("lodash");
 
// Given object
let object = { 'c': [{ 'python': { 'java': 3 } }] };
 
// Use of _.get method
console.log(_.get(object, ['c', '0', 'python', 'java']));

Example 3:  In this example, we are accessing the value of an object using the path in the _.get() method having a defalt value as “default”

Javascript




// Requiring the lodash library 
const _ = require("lodash");
 
// Given object
