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

  var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew",
    method: value(function to be called)
  }

  var ryan = {
    name: "Ryan",
    method: value(function to be called)
  }

andrew and ryan are both javascript objects. genericGreet is a function. Methods are functions contained in an object that can be called on the object. To complete the challenge, you need to create a new method called greet in each of the objects, andrew and ryan, and give that method the value of genericGreet. Make sure you add a comma after the first property. Example below:

var objectName = {
    property: value,
    method: value
}
