Hi , When i completed the challenge i had to put the "newYork.population = 8.406e6;" out side of the object declaration. So my completed code looked like this;

var newYork = {
   population : 100,
   latitude : '40.7127 N',
   longitude : '74.0059 W'
};
newYork.population = 8.406e6;

I hope this helps, Ollie.
