Hi Isaiah,

You've declared a variable named person and assigned it an object with a property of name and a value of 'addy'.

Instead, the challenge wants you to "declare a variable named addy and assign it an empty object literal". To declare addy you would type const addy, and an empty object literal looks just like an empty pair of curly braces: {}. The result looks like this:

const addy = {};

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
