Why is this code not correct for this challenge ?

var objects = [ { item1 : = 'value1', item2 : = 'value2' }, { item1 : = 'value1', item2 : = 'value2' }, { item1 : = 'value1', item2 : = 'value2' } ];

script.js 
var objects = [ 
  {
    item1 : = '1',
    item2 : = '2'
  },
  {
    item1 : = '1',
    item2 : = '2'
   }, 
  {
    item1 : = '1',
    item2 : = '2'
  }
];

var someObject = {property : value};

not:

var someObject = {property : = value};

= after : is redundant.
