How can i show this on the DOM?

I want to print my data to the page. I tried writing something like this: var user = { name: 'charlie', age: 27, sex: 'male' } for(let info in user) { document.querySelector('.display-box').innerHTML= (${person}: ${info[user]}); }

and it only shows "sex: male"

Hey Obe! It looks like you may be overwriting the inner HTML every time the loop runs. That means that you will always only see one. Maybe what you want to do is append to the inner html using the += operator. Something like the following will work:

var user = { name: 'charlie', age: 27, sex: 'male' };
for(let userProp in user) {
  document.querySelector('.display-box').innerHTML += `${userProp}: ${user[userProp]} ` 
}

Note the way I access the value from the object. It seems that you may have had it reversed on your code. :)
