kinda want to see your output after all of this 🙂

you got it plugged into your data not the mimmic we made?

Any questions? do you see how / under stand how  
value.instance and value.type work in the function ?

```auto
 reformatted_Obj['Array [' + index_number + ']' + ' type: ' + current_element_inside_index_number.value.type

```
