I don't understand how to solve this challenge.

I don't understand how to solve this challenge.

The question is "Inside the play method, write an empty if statement that checks if it's the players turn. Use dot notation."

for this part of code

object.js 
const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        // write code here.
    }
}

I am writing 

if ( this.isTurn ) {}

but it's incorrect

Hi Ivan

You are correct with your answer, however, Treehouse seems to be returning incorrect because of the spaces around your answer within the if statement.

So yes you are correct, just remove the extra spaces like below:

const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        // write code here.
      if (this.isTurn) {

      }
    }
}
