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

Because { a: 1, b: 2 } is not a valid expression to execute. JavaScript looks it like a block of code since it starts and ends to curly braces.

If you try ({ a: 1, b: 2 }), it will work.
