Unexpected string error on my object key.

I followed Jim's example of having a Key with a space needing to be surrounded by quotes.

var Lukas = { 
    name: "Lukas", 
    skills: ["JavaScript", "Ruby", "Dancing"]
    "favorite color": "Green"
};

The console gives me the error when it gets to the line that reads "favorite color": "Green"

I can't seem to figure out why this is an issue? I'm overlooking something , I'm sure of it!

Thanks in advance,

Lukas

Hi Lukas,

I think your only issue is that you're missing a comma at the end of your array for "skills"

Similar to how you have a comma at the end of "Lukas".

Each property/value pair should be separated with a comma.

Aha! I knew I was overlooking something.

Thank you kindly for your swift response!
