3,849 PointsObjects, Inside An Array Challenge - Why?
js
var objects = [
var obj1 = {
name: "matt",
age: 25
},
var obj2 = {
name: "fareed",
age: 20
},
var obj3 = {
name: "melinda",
age: 21
}
];
Error: "Looks like step one, is no longer working." Step one: was simple to creat an array literal with nothing in it (named to objects). But, when I attempt to put my 3 objects (with two property/value pairs each) inside the array... it wont work. Help please?

You're on the right track, except you don't assign variable names to the object in a key: value pair. Other than that you're syntax is correct.
var objects = [
{
name: "matt",
age: 25
},
{
name: "fareed",
age: 20
},
{
name: "melinda",
age: 21
}
];
Keep Coding!

Courses Plus Student 8,692 PointsIt's a very minor mistake. Why are you creating variables "var" inside an array.
array =[1, 2, 3] that's it no var.
var objects = [
obj1 = {
name: "matt",
age: 25
},
obj2 = {
name: "fareed",
age: 20
},
obj3 = {
name: "melinda",
age: 21
}
];

Courses Plus Student 8,692 PointsAnytime, I did the same mistake when I was working on this challenge

3,849 PointsThanks Jason so, it essentially comes down to a syntax error?

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsYep.
The "Task one is no longer passing" is very misleading. It will always be something done in the current Task and never actually related to the first task. So, when you encounter this, don't click "Go back to task one." Just look carefully at your code (specifically any code changed and / or added since the last Task) for any syntax errors. Often it's as simple as a missing semi-colon. I've been in a challenge and on Task 3 or 4... missed a semi-colon and got the "Task one" error.
