        name = name || "you";
        mood = mood || "good";
        console.log("Hello, " 
            + name + 
            " I am " 
            + this.name +

Hi Muhammad,
'riz' is a javascript object. name, skills and greet are all properties of that object. When you want to call a property you do it like this:
```javascript
riz.name
```
If you type this on your browsers console, you get 'Rizwan'.
Greet is another property which in this case is a function with 2 parameters, name and mood. The name in the function is not the same name in the object. Using an example makes it clearer. Typing this on the console:
```javascript
riz.greet('Hugo', 'great')
```
you will get this:
Hello, Hugo I am Rizwan and I am in great mood.
The name you passed in the function appears first and then the name stored in the object (this.name) appears after.
