getting one value from array output using ajax

Question

My array:

result = {"ids":[{"tid":"121"}],"tid":[{"tid":"121"}]}

I want to display the value of tid inside ids and tid inside tid using ajax but I don't know how to do it. I have tried result.val(result.ids.tid) but that gives me undefined. I have also tried result.val(result.ids["tid"]) with and without quotes on tid but it still doesn't work.

Does anyone know how I can get the output of 121 from the result array?

You are expected to try to write the code yourself. After doing more research if you have a problem post what you've tried with a clear explanation of what isn't working and provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example.

Open up your dev console, if you don't have resutlt available then paste var result = {"ids":[{"tid":"121"}],"tid":[{"tid":"121"}]}. then type result and press enter. You should now be able to traverse into the data and figure out how this works, so you can do it next time as well. Teach a man to fish and all that. — JimL

You have an object that contains arrays of objects. You should reference the array index to get to the object inside the array.

result.ids[0].tid
