Step 2 is contradicting Step 1?

Step 1 is to make an empty array. Step two is to add objects into the array. When I add objects to the array, it tells me that step 1 no longer passes. Obviously I can't have an empty array and an array with objects in it at the same time. I think I'm coding it right, but my third object is giving me a different color for the property names.

script.js 
var objects = [
  {
    name: 'one',
    amountTo: 1
  }
  {
    name: 'two',
    amountTo: 2
  }
  {
    name: 'three',
    amountTo: 3
  }
];
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>JavaScript Objects</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Hi Brendan,

When you add objects into an array, they must be separated by a comma. So your code should look like this:

var objects = [
  {
    name: 'one',
    amountTo: 1
  },
  {
    name: 'two',
    amountTo: 2
  },
  {
    name: 'three',
    amountTo: 3
  }
];
