    For your first practice code challenge, 0:09
    you were supposed to create an object literal that had a property called string. 0:11
    So follow along to see the solution. 0:15
    The value for string was a simple phrase. 0:17
    Programming with treehouse is fun. 0:19
    This object literal was supposed to be held in a variable called myString. 0:22
    Let's get started. 0:26
    First, declare your variable. 0:27
    I'll set the variable to a pair of curly braces. 0:32
    These curly braces indicate an object, and an object's properties and 0:36
    methods go inside the curly braces. 0:39
    So add some space inside and then put the property. 0:43
    I don't need to put any quotes around the property key string, but 0:53
    I do need quotes around the property value, because the value is a string. 0:56
    The property key and property value are separated by a colon. 1:01
    Now, that's really all there is to it. 1:04
    We've created an object literal with one property, string. 1:06
    If we want, 1:11
    we can see the value of the myString variable by logging it to the console. 1:11
    So now I'm gonna save the file and then jump down to the terminal. 1:21
    I'll use node, which is a way to run JavaScript outside the browser, 1:26
    to run the file and see the output. 1:29
    Cool, as you can see in the output here, 1:35
    my string contains an object with the property string. 1:37
    And the value of the property is Programming with Treehouse is fun! 1:41
    Great, let's build on this in the next code challenge. 1:44
