Instead of logging out the full name, modify the code so it returns the string instead. Stuck on this.

I thought this is what they did in the lesson, but it's not working. 

var contact = {
  firstName: "Andrew",
  lastName: "Chalkley",
  fullName: function(){
    return fullName;
  }
}
object.js 
var contact = {
  firstName: "Andrew",
  lastName: "Chalkley",
  fullName: function(){
    return fullName;
  }
}

This question is just about changing the console.log to a return, but everything else stays the same.

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

So you were on the right track.

Jason :)

It says return THE string. There are two strings. Is he trying to say return the concatenated result of both strings? I know Andrew is a great programmer but I just wish Dave taught all the js courses. He is such a good teacher and I find I can concentrate much better on him. Of course it could just be because I have ADHD
