Code Challenge: Methods

Hello,

I passed the code challenge with this code:

var genericGreet = function() { return "Hello, my name is " + this.name; }

  var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew",
    greet: genericGreet();
  }

  var ryan = {
    name: "Ryan",
    greet: genericGreet();
  }

However, it seems wrong to me, and when I want to change it into this, it is wrong:

var genericGreet = function() { return "Hello, my name is " + this.name; }

  var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew",
    greet: function() {
    return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
  }
  }

  var ryan = {
    name: "Ryan",
    greet: function() {
    return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
  }
  }

Where did I go wrong?

Both are technically correct, but the first one is correct for the challenge with the following caveat: do not put a semi-colon on the last key-value pair in an object.

First you are missing a semicolon, on the other and you should know how to access the greet member of your ryan function. good luck

var ryan = {
    name: "Ryan",
    greet: function () {
        return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
    }
};
