ES6 shorthand in JavaScript

What this snippet does

When a variable name matches the key name, you can omit the colon and value — keeps object literals concise.

Expected output

{ name: 'Alice', age: 30 }
hello

Why practise typing this

Typing objects code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation JavaScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
