For your first practice code challenge,
0:09
you were supposed to create an object
literal that had a property called string.
0:11
So follow along to see the solution.
0:15
The value for string was a simple phrase.
0:17
Programming with treehouse is fun.
0:19
This object literal was supposed to be
held in a variable called myString.
0:22
Let's get started.
0:26
First, declare your variable.
0:27
I'll set the variable to
a pair of curly braces.
0:32
These curly braces indicate an object,
and an object's properties and
0:36
methods go inside the curly braces.
0:39
So add some space inside and
then put the property.
0:43
I don't need to put any quotes
around the property key string, but
0:53
I do need quotes around the property
value, because the value is a string.
0:56
The property key and
property value are separated by a colon.
1:01
Now, that's really all there is to it.
1:04
We've created an object literal
with one property, string.
1:06
If we want,
1:11
we can see the value of the myString
variable by logging it to the console.
1:11
So now I'm gonna save the file and
then jump down to the terminal.
1:21
I'll use node, which is a way to
run JavaScript outside the browser,
1:26
to run the file and see the output.
1:29
Cool, as you can see in the output here,
1:35
my string contains an object
with the property string.
1:37
And the value of the property is
Programming with Treehouse is fun!

Great, let's build on this
in the next code challenge.
