declaring objects

In the last challenge we were supposed to make an array of three objects; each object was to have 2 property: value pairs.

Initially I tried declaring each object:

var objects = [
  var David = {sex: "male", age: 32},
  var Gwen = {sex: "female", age: 28},
  var Henry = {sex: "male", age: 31}
];

It was deemed incorrect until I took out declaring each object. This was accepted as the right answer:

var objects = [
  David = {sex: "male", age: 32},
  Gwen = {sex: "female", age: 28},
  Henry = {sex: "male", age: 31}
];

When should we declare objects? Is it wrong to declare them in the middle of the list, or was this just the challenge looking for a particular answer?

Thank you.

the only variable is "objects" and it is an array. The others are elements in the array that contain key value pairs.
