It might help if you rewatch the video. Trying to recall syntax and answer, but I think it is this:

var andrew { 

  name: Andrew

  greet: genericGreet

}

Add the same greet: genericGreet line for Ryan. If it doesn't work, add () after genericGreet.

this is the original question, i have done a lot of trials but always wrong. help thanks challenge : On 'andrew' and 'ryan', set the 'greet' method as the 'genericGreet' function.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title> JavaScript Foundations: Objects</title> <style> html { background: #FAFAFA; font-family: sans-serif; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>JavaScript Foundations</h1> <h2>Objects: Methods</h2> <script>

  var genericGreet = function() {
    return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
  }

  var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew"
  }

  var ryan = {
    name: "Ryan"
  }

</script>

</body> </html>

You have to add a method to within the curly braces of var andrew. The name of the method is greet. That greet method has to call the genericGreet function. Do the same for Ryan. Enough hints for you to get it now?

You're welcome Marck! Strange guess. I'm from New York City and now reside in the San Francisco metro area. Fortunately for me, there are a lot of IT positions out here. I'm hoping to learn enough to get into the apprentice.io bootcamp. Intermediate level Rails is required. They pay $500/week while an apprentice, then help with job placement. Where are you from, and what's your goal?
