4,335 PointsAdd properties to an object
Add three properties to this object: population with a value of 2.211e6 (that's 2.211 million using exponential notation), a latitude property with a value of '48.8567 N', and a longitude property with a value of '2.3508 E'.
var paris = {
population = 2.211e6,
latitude = '48.8567 N',
longitude = '2.3508 E',
};

969 PointsHi Samuel,
Objects in JavaScript are a way to group related data into one easily managable unit.
Objects in JavaScript are stored inside a variable with an object literal.
var paris = {
// '{ } - is an object literal symbol/notation '
}
Properties of an object are stored as either :
- (Key) : (Value) pairs
- (Property) : (Value) pairs
var paris = {
population : 2.211e6,
latitude : '48.8567 N',
longitude : '2.3508 E'
};
So I'm assuming you have learned some CSS. In CSS properties are written using (property : value) pairs, the same as in JavaScript.
Hopefully I've solved your problem
