How to assign a JSON value to a var in JavaScript?

Question

I would like to assign a JSON value to var, however i get the following error.

var a = { myData.results[count].category[count] }

Cause you dont have a key? Key values stores (objects) need a key and a value — Jonas Wilms

Or just drop the curlies, if it is not supposed to be a property. — brunnerh

Maybe a syntax error, either make it a property of an object:

var a = { prop: myData.results[count].category[count] };

Or just the value:

var a = myData.results[count].category[count];
