i thik only 4th one is True. the 3rd one is incorrect - cannot be evaluated because array index '2' is outside bounds (0, 1) of array

I agree. I've tested on power automate and it returned me an error

Be careful and check how the expressions are written and test them in Power Automate. NO - It throws an error because is missing the question mark between body(Parse_JSON) and ['customerName']. It would work if written correctly even though there isn't customerName. NO - It outputs ": 10091" NO - Position 2 doesn't exist, only 0 and 1. YES - It works even if you omit the last question mark between customerPhones and position.

Correction on the second answer: The output of the concat is an error if using body('Parse_JSON').customerName as written in the question. The error specifies that customerName doesn't exist. As a curiosity, if using body('Parse_JSON')?['customerName'] it doesn't throw any error and the output is ": 10091". Answer is still NO, but I find interesting the two different outputs.

Cegebe is 100% correct on all of these. it won't throw the error if you include the '?' because that tells power automate to ignore the property if it doesn't exist, so the flow will execute successfully.

My take is the following: No - because customerName does not exist No- because if the concat function does not fail it should result in ': 10091' Yes- because of the equals(!!) function. While parsing customerPhones[2] will return null or blank, it is compared to an empty string ''. So it could return true, assuming that null and '' are being regarded the same thing Yes - because the value for customerPhones[1] exists, and is parsed to integer

With this I learnt some things: - You can call properties using dot notation "body('Parse_JSON').customerNumber" - The "?" is not mandatory to be present when calling a property. For example: "body('Parse_JSON')?['customerName']" also can be "body('Parse_JSON')['customerName']". The difference is that the "?" indicates Power Automate to ignore the error if the property does not exist in the object. - You can also use "?" before calling an item from an array, so for example if the third expression would have had "customerPhones?[2]", it would have not failed - You can use "?" with dot notation. So, from all of that the answer is: - No: The expression throws an error because the "customerName" property is not present. - No: The expression throws an error because "customerName" property is not present. - No: The expression throws an error because the index is out of the array. - Yes

I created an instant flow with a variable with the Json, then the Parse JSON and a compose. The result was (True, : 10091, False, 114456129), which means ( Yes, No, No, Yes)
