Javascript Method Challenge

Question

Good day everyone,
I am currently struggling with the following challenge on methods in JavaScript.
"On 'andrew', set the 'greet' method as the 'genericGreet' function."
This is initial code that I must work on:
var genericGreet = function() {
    return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
}

var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew"
}
I have tried many things, here are one of my efforts:
   var andrew = {
        name: "Andrew",
        greet: function() {
            return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
        }
   }
(i'm not sure why this second bit of code doesn't look like easy to read code, i'm sorry for the inconvenience.)
I have also watched the video again, please explain what's wrong as I don't understand.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi Nthulane,
Hopefully I can explain this, I'm still trying to 'master' Javascript.
They want you to add the genericGreet function to a new property/method called greet, under the objects Andrew and Ryan. So you would need to create a new property and set it to the function genericGreet. See the example below.
```javascript
var andrew = {
        name: "Andrew",
        greet: genericGreet
      }
  var ryan = {
    name: "Ryan",
    greet: genericGreet
  }
```

Thanks Neil, I think I got it wrong because I hadn't placed a comma where it was supposed to be.
