JavaScript JavaScript Foundations Objects Methods

JavaScript Methods Question

Hi,

I'm having some trouble getting through the JavaScript Methods code challenge. It asks to set the "greet" method as the genericGreet function, and I'm not sure if I'm doing this wrong or misunderstanding the question. Here is my code:

var genericGreet = function () {
return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
}

var andrew = {
name: "Andrew"
greet: genericGreet()
}

var nick = {
name: "Nick"
greet: andrew.greet
}

Thanks for any help!

You nearly have it right, it looks like the only thing wrong is you are missing a couple commas.

Try this code:

var andrew = {
name: "Andrew",
greet: genericGreet()
};

var nick = {
name: "Nick",
greet: andrew.greet
};

EDIT: You should also end your object declarations with a semicolon as a best practice.

my solution to the challenge is the same as the solution given above (except that the second name is ryan instead of nick). however, I am still getting an error. please help.

var genericGreet = function() { return "Hello, my name is " + this.name; }

  var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew",
    greet: genericGreet()
  };

  var ryan = {
    name: "Ryan",
    greet: andrew.greet
  };
