Help Plz Inside the if statement, return a string to the value of the property followed by string " is now playing

Inside the if statement, return a string equal to the value of the name property followed by the string " is now playing!". Use bracket notation.

object.js 
const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){ 
      if (this.isTurn) { }

}

this code

return player1['name'] + ' is now playing!' }

should be inside the if statement curly braces.

Hi Mohammad,

Try use template literals or string concatenation so that the string returned from the function is equal to the phrase 'Ashley is now playing!'

Hope that helps, Ashley
