Need assistance with JS Foundation > Objects > Methods (objective)

I've been stuck on this question, and topic of methods all day. I hardly understand the question, and have tried multiple methods in the console to see what results I would get that with those methods. Still, I can't figure it out. If you could help me, without giving the exact answer, I'd greatly appreciate it. http://gyazo.com/2cbf819095a3ed44aad7f08e8a054cdb

I found a forum post that pertains to your problem. The user explains the process nicely. https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/javascript-methods-help-on-andrew-and-ryan-set-the-greet-method-as-the-genericgreet-function

What the user does not explain is how to display their names afterwards which is like this:

ryan.greet();

Sorry if these were not quite helpful. I thought at first that I knew Methods, but I had forgotten some aspects.

Thanks for all the help! It really helped a lot. It was actually a lot simpler than I though. I think the problem was that I assumed the structure: keyName : function(){} is the same as saying function keyName(){} and assumed it could be called up on using: object.keyName(); and that would be represent my function (in relation to the first example)

Edit: I actually originally had the right answer. I just forgot my commas!

Anyways, thanks for all your help. I feel a lot more confident with using methods after seeing that post.
