You have started off OK, but you don't need to assign the properties to a fullName variable before logging to the console and you need to reference the properties in the fullName method (when logging to the console) by referencing the contact property.

var contact = {
  firstName: "Andrew",
  lastName: "Chalkley",

  fullName: function() {
      console.log(contact.firstName + " " + contact.lastName);
  }
}
