What's wrong with my code? It runs in Chrome console.

This challenge task 2 of 2 in the Object Literal chapter. The first task was to write the property names to the console. I did that successfully. The second task is to add the property values as well.

The error is Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer working - which seems to mean that something in one's code for the next step.

What am I missing? As I said, my code runs fine in the console. Is it some picky way about the way I'm writing out.

script.js 
var shanghai = {
  population: 14.35e6,
  longitude: '31.2000 N',
  latitude: '121.5000 E',
  country: 'CHN'
};

for ( prop in shanghai ) {
  console.log (prop, ': '  + shanghai[prop] );
}
index.html

Hi Laura, the code challenge validator is being not so much picky as technical. Therefore your answer is flagged for ': ' + and so the challenge answer is: console.log(prop, shanghai[prop]);. Some quizes like to hone on what was literally said/taught during the course. I catch myself overthinking at times. Thank God for the forums!
