JavaScript JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects Tracking Data Using Objects Create an Array of Objects

I have no idea why this is not passing. I've checked all the commas and other notations in this challenge.

var objects = [ { organization: "Center for Women and Families", volunteer: yes }, { organization: "Bank of America", volunteer: no }, { organization: "Habitat for Humanity", volunteer: yes } ];

script.js
var objects = [
{
  organization: "Center for Women and Families", 
  volunteer: yes
},
{
  organization: "Bank of America", 
  volunteer: no
},
{
  organization: "Habitat for Humanity", 
  volunteer: yes
}
];

You're really close! You just forgot to enclose your "yes" and "no" values in quotes.

Another solution that would also work would be to replace them with true and false (then no quotes needed).

Hi there! I feel like you're doing great and you're correct that your commas and brackets etcetera are all correct. The problem here lies in the use of yes and no. These words by themselves mean nothing to JavaScript. It thinks you're trying to reference variables named "yes" and "no".

Take a look at the Bummer! message:

Bummer! There was an error with your code: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: yes

See? It thinks yes is a variable. You can fix this one of two ways. You can either turn yes into a string by putting quotes around it, or you can use the boolean values true or false.

So either:

 volunteer: "yes"

Or:

 volunteer: true

I feel like the latter one is closer to what you're wanting. Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Thanks!

Thanks.
