Its keeps telling that something is wrong with my syntax.

email: "bob.jones@example.com"
}
var mary = {
firstName: "Mary",
lastName: "Johnson",
phoneNumber: "(650)888-8888",
email: "mary.johnson@example.com"
};
var contacts = [bob, mary, dale];
var contactsLength = contacts.length;
function printPerson(person) {
console.log(person.firstName + " " + person.lastName);
}
function list() {
var contactsLength = contacts.length;
for (var i = 0; i < contactsLength; i++) {
printPerson(contacts[i]);
};
};
var add=function(firstName,lastName,email,phoneNumber)
{contacts[contacts.length] =
{
firstName: firstName,
lastName: lastName,
email: email,

There are a few errors that need addressed. The first one is that you are missing a comma after the "phoneNumber" key for the "bob" object.
The second one is that you are adding the "dale" object to the contacts list before the dale object is initialized. This list should be truncated to only those objects that are defined, which would be "bob" and "mary".
The third one is that inside of your "add" function, you are trying to set the new contact object to be equal to the keyword "object" which won't do anything. This line should be deleted as it does nothing towards your program.
Here is the updated JavaScript:
//Added comma to end of phoneNumber key/value pair
var bob = {
firstName: "Bob",
lastName: "Jones",
phoneNumber: "(650)777-7777)",
email: "bob.jones@example.com"
}
var mary = {
firstName: "Mary",
lastName: "Johnson",
phoneNumber: "(650)888-8888",
email: "mary.johnson@example.com"
};
//Deleted unknown dale object from contacts variable
var contacts = [bob, mary];
var contactsLength = contacts.length;
function printPerson(person) {
console.log(person.firstName + " " + person.lastName);
}
function list() {
var contactsLength = contacts.length;
for (var i = 0; i < contactsLength; i++) {
printPerson(contacts[i]);
};
};
var add = function(firstName,lastName,email,phoneNumber){
contacts[contacts.length] = {
firstName: firstName,
lastName: lastName,
email: email,
phoneNumber: phoneNumber
};
//Deleted variable declaration because it overwrote object declaration with object keyword
};
add("Dale","Vasquez","DaleVasquez@example.com","866-329-3468");
list();

11,818 PointsCan you post the error? A good way to check these is to run the files from your computer and not in the workspace. This way you can take advantage of the console errors and debugging available in the browser. I'm not sure if you are still allowed to download the files, but you can at least copy and paste the html and js into new files on your computer.
One thing I notice is you need a comma after your phoneNumber key-value pair in bob.
