# --description--

ES6 adds some nice support for easily defining object literals.

Consider the following code:

```js
const getMousePosition = (x, y) => ({
  x: x,
  y: y
});
```

`getMousePosition` is a simple function that returns an object containing two properties. ES6 provides the syntactic sugar to eliminate the redundancy of having to write `x: x`. You can simply write `x` once, and it will be converted to`x: x` (or something equivalent) under the hood. Here is the same function from above rewritten to use this new syntax:

```js
const getMousePosition = (x, y) => ({ x, y });
```

# --instructions--

Use object property shorthand with object literals to create and return an object with `name`, `age` and `gender` properties.

# --hints--

`createPerson("Zodiac Hasbro", 56, "male")` should return `{name: "Zodiac Hasbro", age: 56, gender: "male"}`.

```js
assert.deepEqual(
  { name: 'Zodiac Hasbro', age: 56, gender: 'male' },
  createPerson('Zodiac Hasbro', 56, 'male')
);
```

Your code should not use `key:value`.

```js
(getUserInput) => assert(!getUserInput('index').match(/:/g));
```

# --seed--

## --seed-contents--

```js
const createPerson = (name, age, gender) => {
  // Only change code below this line
  return {
    name: name,
    age: age,
    gender: gender
  };
  // Only change code above this line
};
```

# --solutions--

```js
const createPerson = (name, age, gender) => {
  return {
    name,
    age,
    gender
  };
};
```
