}

The for in loop iterates over all the properties of your object. That means you only need the first console.log statement.

The subsequent 4 statements in your loop try to access a property of the console object. This is not what you want.

The first statement will log everything to the console.

I've tried that james. the second part of the objective insists on 4 actual lines. there is no answer that works. the answer you gave works for the first part of the objective. not the second. it says log out every line

Hi, I just took a look at the task.

In the first part of the task, you just need to log the properties, so the following:

for (var something in shanghai){
   console.log(something);
}

In the second part, you need the properties and values.

for (var something in shanghai){
      console.log(something + ': ' + shanghai[something]);
}

Did you try them in this order? It is working for me.
