You declared the variable inside of the variable… That can’t be right.

#3

I tried const instead of var that didn’t work either…

#4

this does not work either

#5

What do the failing tests say?

#6

SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected keyword ‘const’. (3:0)

1 | const myDog = {
2 | // Only change code below this line

3 | const myDog = {
| ^
4 | “name”: “Jasper”,
5 | “legs”: 4,
6 | “tails”: 1,

#7

You still declared a variable inside of a variable. You shouldn’t do that.

They didn’t do that in the example

const cat = {
  "name": "Whiskers",
  "legs": 4,
  "tails": 1,
  "enemies": ["Water", "Dogs"]
};
#8

So how should it look?

#9

It worked haha I removed the variable like you said. I was just so used to always having a variable in all the previous tests. Thank you for your help.
