JavaScript Objects

On 'andrew' and 'ryan', set the 'greet' method as the 'genericGreet' function.

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

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

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

this does not work

I have also tried just

greet: genericGreet()
greet: genericGreet.apply(ryan)

and it still does not work.

however, it seems to be working in the chrome console window,

someone help figure out why it is not working out in the challenge?

I think if you remove the parenthesis it worked for me

greet: genericGreet
