Typo

Hey guys,

I think you've got a typo. The question is worded as such: "The New York variable contains an object" with the wrong value.

Shouldn't it instead say: "The New York object contains a property with the wrong value?"

-Matt

script.js 
var newYork = {
  population: 100, 
  latitude: '40.7127 N',
  longitude: '74.0059 W'
};
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>JavaScript Objects</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

In this case the wording chosen by the author is correct.

Because a variable is used to assign the object to, using the object initialiser rather than the object constructor.
