I don't understand the question.

What does it mean by anonymous function?

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

An anonymous function is just an unnamed function. 

var contact = {
  fullName: function () {  // Delete printFullName
    var firstName = "Andrew";
    var lastName = "Chalkley";
    console.log(firstName + " " + lastName);
  }
}

Then to call the function, you'd just use contact.fullName()
