];
/*ask user to enter fruit name and store in foodName variable*/
var foodName = prompt("Enter food name: ")
/*ask user to enter fruit type and store in foodType variable*/
var foodType = prompt("Enter food type: ")

/*create any object let say foodItem and add property to it food and assgn foodName user enter, and for type property assign foodType to it, like below */
let foodItem = {food : foodName, type : foodType};
/*object is created and then add it to the gArr by using push method */
gArr.push(foodItem);
/*print the array in console to check the output*/
console.log(gArr)
