Add an empty method to the object literal called play(). WHat do you mean? player1.play()???

The wording of these instructions isn't very well done, or it's a deliberate misdirection, I'm not quite sure which. Also, apparently trying to put an arrow function (which I thought was encouraged as per all of the ES2015 videos?!) doesn't work either. : /

play: function(){}

That does the trick! The brackets after "play" in the question made me a little confused at first. After rewatching the video, I realized that she said, "The property key is the name of the method, and that's the name you'll use when you want to call it."

In the end, one is able to create a method, e.g., play(), by using the method's name as an object property.

I found this quite difficult as well. The instructions were a little misleading for a student.

Inside the object literal add the play method

const player1 = {
  name: 'Jip',
  color: 'GreyishBrown',
  isTurn: true,
//play method 

}

Yes, the instructor poorly conveyed the following detail of creating a empty method ---> and directing it to an OBJECT LITERAL named PLAY()

This is correct way of creating your object literal and assigning it to a variable player1.

var player1 = {

name: 'Walter Driver', color: 'Green', isTurn: true,

play: function(){} // This portion was poorly explained and the question was not as clear on what it was asking }

how could I know the answer for this question?

const player1 = { name : 'abhinav', color: 'Dark', isTurn: true, play: function (player1) {}

}

const player1 = { name: 'rana', color: 'brown', isTurn: true, play: function() { } }
