Anonymous function?

Not sure what the challenge wants, it's asking me to make an anonymous function.

object.js 
function printFullName() {
  var firstName = "Andrew";
  var lastName = "Chalkley";
  console.log();
}

var contact = {
  fullName : printFullName
}

Something like this:

var printFullName = function() {
  var firstName = "Andrew";
  var lastName = "Chalkley";
  console.log(firstName + " " + lastName);
}

var contact = {
  fullName: printFullName
}

An anonymous function is one without a name. I'm not sure what the details of the challenge are, but you see these functions passed as arguments a lot... 

var contact = console.log(function(first, last) {
  return first + " " + last;
});
