Hello Sharon! You're almost there! just move the code for the first function into the print property of the contact object literal!

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

the challenge is asking that you create a method called fullName that runs the printFullName function. So your code should look like this. View Below

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

var contact = {
  fullName: printFullName
}

i hope this helps

Hey Chyno! I thought the same thing too! problem is that it doesnt pass the second part of the code challenge :( I think they're really trying to cement the idea of anonymous functions
