I need help with this challenge

I have used this below code to log the property name and value of each property in this object and it still won't work

script.js
var shanghai = {
  population: 14.35e6,
  longitude: '31.2000 N',
  latitude: '121.5000 E',
  country: 'CHN'
};
for(var stuff in shanghai){
  console.log(shanghai.stuff + shanghai[stuff]);

}

Hiya Robert! I wanna point out that shanghai.stuff and shanghai["stuff"] both outputs the same result, values of properties in the object literals. In task one, you're supposed to log out only properties and in the latter, you need to log the a formatted string which uses shanghai object's property and its values. There is one example already shown in the challenge itself. Here is my code for reference:

var shanghai = {
  population: 14.35e6,
  longitude: '31.2000 N',
  latitude: '121.5000 E',
  country: 'CHN'
};

for (var props in shanghai) {
  console.log(props + ": " + shanghai[props]);
}
