# --description--
The next step is to use the `new` keyword to create a new instance of the `Player` object and assign it to a new `const` variable called `player`.
# --hints--
You should use `const` to declare a `player` variable.
```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+player\s*=/);
```
You should use the `new` keyword to instantiate a new `Player` object.
```js
assert.match(code, /new\s+Player\s*\(\s*\)/);
```
You should assign your new `Player` object to the `player` variable.
```js
assert.isTrue(player instanceof Player);
```
