Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 4,646 PointsI'm not 100% sure what you are asking, but I can tell you that the second line will not compile. You can't declare a variable to be a property on an existing object. I recommend reading through the Java course if you are not familiar with Object Oriented Programming.
