Hi Arvind,

You are very close with your code! You should make sure to use the var keyword each time you initialize a variable so that it goes into the proper scope. And you will need to use a lower case price for the challenge because that's what it asks you to use although "Price" is a valid variable name. So, just attach the var keyword and put the capital p in price to lowercase like so:

var price = 9.99;

Another way to get through this challenge is to put price on the same line as age. All you have to do is separate each variable and its data by a comma like so:

var age = 20, price = 9.99;

You're welcome, Arvind! Happy Coding :)
