Hi there,

You need to use the function genericGreet inside your objects. You create a new property called greet and assign it the genericGreet variable value, which is a function.

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

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

im still getting There was an error with your code: SyntaxError: Parse error
