Javascript prototyping

Question

The exercise will not pass. It wants me to change the function to a prototype function:
original code:
function Monster(name) {
  this.name = name;
  this.health = 100;
  this.takeDamage = function (){
    this.health--;
  }
}
My code:
function Monster(name) {
  this.name = name;
  this.health = 100;
}
Monster.prototype.takeDamage(){
   this.health--;
}
Can anyone point me in the right direction
```monster.js
function Monster(name) {
  this.name = name;
  this.health = 100;
}
Monster.prototype.takeDamage(){
   this.health--;
}
```

Hi, David.
The problem is that using prototypes, your prototype reference should point to a function like the code below and not try to be a function.
javascript
Monster.prototype.takeDamage = function() {
   this.health--;
}
