Challenge: Basic JavaScript - Manipulating Complex Objects

Link to the challenge:

2

The square bracket is prematurely ending the array.

You only use that type of bracket at the end of the of the array, not in the middle.

3

i can’t figure out . “gold”: true is set in that way for default and still saying error.

4

This is the original code, true?

You are asked to add an object to this array.

The code should be added above the last square bracket, not below it.

I hope this helps.

if you have a follow-up question let me know.
Remember arrays are whatever is in the square brackets like
[1, 2, 3]

so to add something to an array, you have to go within the brackets to add it
(whether it is a simple array like this one or a more complex one)
