task 1 is no longer passing

I'm not sure where my error is in this code, the objective seems pretty straight forward, and everything I do leads to task 1 not passing

script.js 
var objects = [
  var student = {

  },
  var teacher = {

  },
  var branch = {

  }
];
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>JavaScript Objects</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

So the array has to have 3 object literals within it, and each of the object literals must have 2 key-value pairs. You have the array, but with the object literals, you've declared each one. You don't need to do that.

var objects = [{},{},{}];

So the above is an array with 3 empty object literals. I don't need to declare them. Now I can add the key-value pairs inside each of them.

var objects = [{name: "sally", age: 32},
               {name: "bob", age: 22},
               {name: "tim", age: 29}
              ]
