It's an empty array. I suppose you're learning Javascript, so: You're normally assigning this to a variable like: "let languages = []" Arrays are lists of items with specific functions, like "push" which adds specific item to the end, so whe can have a block of code: "let languages = [] // Lets the code know that it's an array function addLanguage(language) { languages.push(language) } if you wouldn't write the = [], it would think it's typeof undefined and the code would produce an error
