I am returning some data (example below) and saving it to a jQuery object (or is this an array and I am confusing the two?) when I log the variable that is the object it has the values I am looking for but how do I access the data inside this object?

code

$itemPosition = {
    'top': $item.offset().top,
    'left':$item.offset().left
},

console.log($itemPosition);

This would log out (the in this case expected) top: 0 & left: 490.

But how can I know work with those values?

Also, while this it is probably obvious I am still in the early stages of learning jQuery/Javascript rest assured that reference books are on their way, but so far the SO community has been invaluable to my learning, so thanks for reading!
