Defining a JavaScript object in console

Question

When I type simple objects to Chrome JavaScript Console, I get an output like this:

>true
true
>1/3
0.3333333333333333

And so on.

Answer 1

 { a: 1, b: 2 }

is a code block, with two wrongly labelled variables.

To create an object, surround the code block by parentheses, so that the braces are interpreted as object literals:

({ a: 1, b: 2 })
