I'm getting Parse Error on this code.. I've tried with and without commas. Nothing works. Any suggestions?

I get parse error, i've tried with and without commas. I've done exactly what the intructions tell me to do. Created 2 new properties and deleted the variable declarations inside the function..

Please post your code. Hard to tell what's wrong without looking at it.

Hi Arthur,

Considering the nature of this challenge, and the fact that you clearly modified the semi-colons to commas, my guess is that you didn't turn the equals ( = ) into colons( : )

But to better answer your question, please post your source code or just compare your code to the code bellow:

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

In console.log use this.firstName and this.lastName
