What you mean by the below phrase?

you might assume they behave in the same way, but that's not quite the case

They are a totally different thing, and each is used in different ways.

I guess I did not get the last section Dot notation - identifiers before variables what you wanted to say. That's why I can't puzzle what you mean.

Hi Dinys Monvoisin, I think we agree. My point was if somebody is learning JavaScript for the first time, they might believe that dot and bracket notation are the same, but they are not.

The last point is connected to it, if you were trying to use bracket and dot notation at the same, you might have some unexpected results if you are not aware of the differences.

Maybe my last heading is bad, and I have to edit it :)

Oh, ok I did not know it was for beginners. Yet, it is still hard to understand what you are trying to mean? Imagine how it should be for someone starting.
