Can someone please help me with task 2 of Accessing All of the Properties in an Object? I am missing something!!!

Question

I wrote the code below but it keeps saying now Task 1 is no longer correct.

for ( var prop in shanghai ) { console.log(prop, ': ', shanghai[prop]); }

script.js

var shanghai = {
  population: 14.35e6,
  longitude: '31.2000 N',
  latitude: '121.5000 E',
  country: 'CHN'
};
for ( var prop in shanghai ) {
  console.log(prop);
}
for(var prop in shanghai) {
  console.log(prop, ': '  shanghai[population]),
  console.log(prop, ': ', shanghai[longitute]),
  console.log(prop, ': ', shanghai[latitude]),
  console.log(prop, ': ', shanghai[country]);
}

Hi there!

When you see that it says task 1 is no longer passing it generally means that there's a syntax error. In your case, it's the second for loop. Keep in mind, before you read this code that you've already figured out the property/key name. So we're going to use that to access the value at that key that has the same value as that variable. Let me see if I can clarify that a bit. You look through every property, right? The first property is population. So now that you have population stored as prop here, you could access the value by doing shanghai[prop]. Take a look at my solution.

var shanghai = {
  population: 14.35e6,
  longitude: '31.2000 N',
  latitude: '121.5000 E',
  country: 'CHN'
};

for (var key in shanghai) {
  console.log(key + ": " + shanghai[key]);
}
