Javascript Object Activity Question

Hi,

I don't think I"m doing this correctly.

The question asks to "On 'andrew' and 'ryan', set the 'greet' method as the 'genericGreet' function." This is the original code

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

      var andrew = {
        name: "Andrew"
      }

      var ryan = {
        name: "Ryan"
      }

annndd... this is my code

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

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

      var ryan = {
        name: "Ryan"
        greet : genericGreet(),
      }

or should the answer be something like this?

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

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

      var ryan = {
        name: "Ryan"
        greet : function(){
            genericGreet();
        },
      }

or neither. Just a bit confused.

Your first code snippet is the way to go, but you don't need the parentheses after the function name (you don't need to invoke the function, just reference it).
