Howdy!

So the prompt wants you to create a new property called "country" within the newYork variable's object, without changing any of this code:

var newYork = {
  population: 100, 
  latitude: '40.7127 N',
  longitude: '74.0059 W'
};

Well, there's two ways to access the object's properties (or create new properties), dot notation or bracket notation. Here's the link to the MDM developer guide on both notations. If you wanted to use dot notation, you could do something like this:

newYork.country = "USA";

Or if you wanted to use bracket notation:

newYork["country"] = "USA";

Hope that helps!
