JavaScript JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects Tracking Data Using Objects Review Loops, Arrays, and Objects

Inside the challenge: Create an array of objects im getting error in task 2!

I get the message: Task 1 is no longer passing, when task 1 is just creating an empty array. Task two says this: Inside the array literal, add three object literals. In other words, the objects array should have three values. Each object should have 2 property/value pairs. What I am doing wrong? find my code attached. Thanks!

var objects = [ { name: "You can do it" assignedTo: "Ana" }, { name: "You are the best", assignedTo: "Also Ana" }, { name: "Great coding skills", assignedTo: "Ana, of course" } ];

If hannushemeikka's code worked then it must be the array that is sensitive to whitespace padding, not the objects. I'm new to JS too :)

I think you're just missing the comma separating the two property/value pairs in your first object!

Thanks, you are right I was missing a ,! However, just changed it and Im still getting an error, (Task 1 is no longer passing) It may be a treehouse error, ?

That might be a whitespace issue? I copied over your line of code and I see you have padded the ends of the array and objects with a space. When I removed those, the challenge passed. Give that a try.

Hi,

I remember I got that same error message but I don't remember why I got it. I any case, I tried that challenge again using your code:

var objects = [ 
    { name: "You can do it", assignedTo: "Ana" },
    { name: "You are the best", assignedTo: "Also Ana" }, 
    { name: "Great coding skills", assignedTo: "Ana, of course" }
];

and it works. It might be some threehouse error if your code is exactly like above.
