Question

First, declare an array named myArray
Great! Now populate myArray with two strings.
Put your full name in the first string, and your Skype handle in the second.
Next, declare a function named cutName. It should take a string as an argument.
cutName should return an array by breaking up the input string into individual words. For example "Douglas Crockford" should be returned as ["Douglas", "Crockford"]
Make a new empty object literal named myData
Add three key-value pairs to myData, by following these guidelines
fullName : call cutName on the name string stored in myArray
skype : refer to your Skype handle in myArray
github : If you have a github handle, enter it as a string. If not, set this to null

An error of unexpected identifier usually means a typo.
 Something like:
 Too many ; or too few }  or a misplaced ( etc. etc. 
It is really important to learn to understand what your errors are telling you.
The format of an object literal is
``` javascript
var myObject = {
key: value,
anotherKey: anotherValue
}
```
You should see that you are missing comma between your key value pairs. 
Having been through a coding bootcamp, I must recommend that you study as much and as hard as you can before attending. Time will be your greatest enemy and whatever you can teach yourself beforehand will benefit you tremendously.

var myArray;
var myArray = ('0','1');
var myArray = ('AntonArboleda','aarboleda');
var cutName = function cutName(string)
{
  return string.split('');
}
var myData =
{
  fullName: cutName(myArray[0])
  skype: myArray[1]
  github: 'aarboleda1';
}
Here is what I have come up with on my own. However, I keep getting "unexpected identifier" when typing in 
  skype: myArray[1]
  github: 'aarboleda1';
any suggestions?
