Tell us what’s happening:

I’m confused by the question how do I add an object to an array? The example they gave doesn’t make any sense to me. Can someone please help?

Hello there!

Arrays can house objects and objects can house arrays as well, when writing them, you follow the usual syntaxes.
What you have is ok, but an object needs to be written using an object literal or an object constructor.
However, it is good practice to write it using the object literal.

3

That didn’t help at all. You got a better explanation than that?

4

an object is written using these parens {}, you are missing them

can you be more clear of what you don’t understand of the explanation?

5

Unfortunately, No. Unless you tell me what you need clarity with.

Thanks for the help!
