The first task of this exercise asks you to make an empty object literal:

var contact = {};

The second task is too add a fullName property with the value of your name. The syntax for that looks like this:

var contact = {
  fullName: "Anthony"
};

Hi Anthony, it means you need to assign a property name of "fullName" to the contact object literal and give it a value of your name, for example:

var contact = {
  fullName : "Grace Kelly"
};

Note: also I think you have incorrectly declared the object literal, it needs two curly brackets {}, not []
