Not sure what's wrong. Keeps saying to make sure let us in the for in loop

script.js 
const composer = {
  name: 'Edward Ellington',
  nickname: 'Duke',
  genres: ['jazz', 'swing'],
  instrument: 'piano'
};

for(let key in composer){
  console.log(key);
}

for (let prop in composer) {
  console.log( `${prop}: ${composer[prop]}`);

In the final console.log, you missing the + before composer.prop:

console.log(prop, ': ' + composer.prop);

Michael Kobela I made a mistake and had an old clipboard copy pasted in the code. See the new change.

It keeps saying “be sure to use let in the for loop” obviously it’s there.

From what I see your for loop is missing the closing } :

for (let prop in composer) {
  console.log( `${prop}: ${composer[prop]}`);
}

Hi

You have the correct answer in your code, but your answer just needs tweaking. The the second part of the challenge is asking you to also include the values as well as the property names, which you have correctly done, but it wants you to add this to the for loop created in the first step rather than creating a second a for loop.

Thanks, that worked. They should've said to replace the previous rather than what it asked.
