Courses Plus Student 15,610 PointsJavaScript - Setting 'Method' and calling a separate function through the initial 'Method'.... I'm stuck!
Q: On 'andrew' and 'ryan', set the 'greet' method as the 'genericGreet' function.
Am I mis-reading the question? I am setting the Method to 'greet' and passing the genericGreet function into that Method (well I think I am!) and it's telling me there was "something wrong with the return values".
My answer code is below, any help would be appreciated as I'm starting to pull my hair out! :S

return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
}
var andrew = {
name: "Andrew",
greet: function(genericGreet){}
}
var ryan = {
name: "Ryan",
greet: function(genericGreet){}
}
</script>

Treehouse TeacherYou don't wrap the genericGreet function inside a function. Just assign it like you would any other value like this:
var ryan = {
name: "Ryan",
greet: genericGreet
};
