The second task of this code challenge won't pass. When clicking on Check Work after completing the task, it always says that the first task won't pass anymore, but I haven't changed anything in my code. What is going on here?
var newYork = {
population: 100,
latitude: '40.7127 N',
longitude: '74.0059 W'
};
newYork.population = 8.406e6;
newYork.country = USA;

Your only issue is that you need to put quotes around USA so that the browser knows it's a string.
Joachim Liedtke
6,690 PointsOh, yes of course. Thanks. but that failure message is pretty misleading then. 'Cause I didn't change a thing in the line of code that I wrote for the first Task...
Also, I'm having the same issue with the second code challenge.
var objects = [
{'a', 'b'},
{'c', 'd'},
{'e', 'f'}
];
I've got quotes around the strings, I'm using the correct brackets/braces, I'm using commas to separate the objects within the array... I have no clue what's wrong here.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsGenerally when you get that error message it doesn't mean you did something wrong in a previous task. It happens because when you introduce an error like that in your code, it prevents the previous tasks from passing.
For that one, each object needs to contain 2 property/value pairs. A colon is used to separate each property/value pair.
One way you could it is like this: {a: 3, b: 5}

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsAlso, generally it's recommended to ask a new question when you need help on a different challenge. This makes it easier for others to find the solution in the community who might be stuck on the same problem.

6,690 PointsThanks. guess I should have read the question more carefully.
Well, I thought it's the same issue, so it would make sense to have it all together in one thread.
