The newYork variable contains an object, but the population is wrong. Add a line of code that sets the population property to 8.406e6. Don't change the original object.
var newYork = { population: 100, latitude: '40.7127 N', longitude: '74.0059 W' }; newYork.population = '8.406e6';

I can't see the challenge, but I believe that the population needs to be a number value instead of a string value. If you take away the single quotes outside of population, which will make it a number, it should pass.
var newYork = {
population: 100,
latitude: '40.7127 N',
longitude: '74.0059 W'
};
//Removed single quotes from outside the number value
newYork.population = 8.406e6;
