Hello, your are doing great. This was as step by step challenge ... check closely to see the change in each step.

console.log(name); // don't delete the code you used in previous step
console.dir(details);

Happy coding!

Hey One!

It's frowned upon in the Community to post code that can be copied and pasted and just work, especially answers to challenges. It's ok to post code, but make sure that you also post a thorough explanation about why that code is the right code and how it works, but also make sure that the code can't be copied and pasted to pass a challenge, too. I've redacted the original code in this answer accordingly. If you'd like, feel free to re-post your code (or something similar that doesn't break the copy/paste rule), but be sure to include a thorough explanation of how it works and why its the right code for this situation. Thanks for helping out in the Community!

I get it. I thought demonstrating was better than explaining ... given that challenge was rather straightforward.
