How to parse a json array that contains multiple datatypes?-Collection of common programming errors

I have this json array:

var a = [{"results":[{"id":"25","name":"John","age":"46"},{"id":"41","name":"Sonny","age":"31"}],"count":2,"total":14}];

It contains an array called “results” and two other variables with numerical values, count and total.

How can i get each of the values of “results”, “count” and “total” from the above array ?

I tried: console.log(a.count);

But it says undefined.

1. First, execute your code will cause SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL.

   There is an invalid character after age between "age"‌​:"31".

   Remove that, then a is an array, so you get the first element by a[0],

   then

   get the count by a[0].count

   get the results by a[0].results

2. To load results:

   console.log(a[0].results);
   

   To load count:

   console.log(a[0].count);
   

   To load total:

   console.log(a[0].total);
