This be damned!

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 20,806 PointsHey Mike I tried putting the “this” keyword in front of the “name property like this ex) return this[‘name] ... and that didn’t work. I’m stuck

14,940 PointsHey Brian.
Leave the code you provided in your original question exactly as it is. You were 90% correct already. Now that you've added "this" before "name", the only mistake you're making is omitting a single quote mark after 'name.' Also, make sure there is a space after "return."
