I am doing the build an object challenge part 1.
I wrote: var students= [ {name:"John", track:"ios", achievements: 100, points: 1}, {name:"Jonah",track:"web", achievements:90, points:7}, {name:"Jason",track:"css", achievements:80, points:5}, {name:"Jamie",track:"android", achievements:50, points: 6}, {name:"Juan",track:"HTML", achievements:77, points:2}, ];
My output didn't show anything other than a white page saying "students" in bold. Is this right?

The javaScript so far is just one statement (though a long one) that creates the variable "students" and stores data into it. The code to do things with this data (like display it on the page) will be added later as you progress through the course.

2,371 PointsThank you, I am trying my best to follow, but its hard to capture everything even pausing the video, going from my editor and to Treehouse's editor. I wish Treehouse would just print our console's output.

231,269 PointsThere is no code here yet that would show anything on the console, either.
