Why isn't this passing?

I'm very confused as to why I get the message "Oops! It looks like Task One is no longer working." Any advice?

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

for (var prop in shanghai) {
  console.log(shanghai[prop]);
};
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>JavaScript Objects</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Hi Christian, You have to add the text of the property value to the log and not remove the name! This code should work:

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

for (var prop in shanghai) {
  console.log(prop+": "+shanghai[prop]);
};

Best Regards, Philip

Because you have removed:

console.log(prop);

The question actually wants to you keep that in there, and print out the value:

console.log(prop, shanghai[prop]);

When logging keys to the console, you may use only the key for the parameter in the log method. -> console.log(prop); This should work for you. for (var prop in shanghai) { console.log(prop); };
