For in challenge

When i did the for in challenge in learning objects in javascript.. this gives me a pass

const composer = { name: 'Edward Ellington', nickname: 'Duke', genres: ['jazz', 'swing'], instrument: 'piano' };

for(let property in composer) {

console.log(composer[property][name]);

}

But when running the code in my own editor and then looking in the browser, it gives me undefined..Why?

Within the scope of your for loop, there are two variables present, property and composer. On the end of your log message there is a [name] property that is not defined. Try this:

const composer = { name: 'Edward Ellington', nickname: 'Duke', genres: ['jazz', 'swing'], instrument: 'piano' };

for (let property in composer) {
   console.log(composer[property]);
}
