How do I modify the object so it uses two two properties?

This is a challenge from the "Understanding This" portion of Object Oriented JavaScript.

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

Hi Janette, you've got the right idea apart from a couple of things, you have given each property an array by using '[]' in order to assign a single value to an object's property we do this:

var contact = {

firstName : "Andrew"

}

Note the syntax of the property and how it differs from the variable syntax, you do not need to add contact. before it as you are declaring these properties within the contact object :) So by applying this syntax to your code you should be on the right track and don't forget to add a comma after each property apart from the last one, which i can see you have done already :)

Hope that helps!!
