Challenge task 1 of 3
Modify the 'Car' constructor function so that it takes an argument for its model and set its 'model' to the model passed in from the argument.
<script>
var carPrototype = {
model: "generic",
currentGear: 0,
increaseGear: function() {
this.currentGear ++;
},
decreaseGear: function() {
this.currentGear--;
}
}
function Car(model) {
this.model= generic;
}
car.prototype= carPrototype;
</script>

Brilliant! its always the little things. This code worked for the challenge.

}
Many Thanks

11,883 PointsYou need to set Car.prototype = carPrototype;
and also as the previous poster said: this.model = model; in your constructor.
