The idea is to take the variables out of the function and declare them elsewhere and to start converting things into objects. As an example, and not to try to give too much away...
var address = {
streetAddress: function() {
var houseNumber = "123";
var streetName = "Elm Street";
console.log(houseNumber + " " + streetName);
}
}
In object-oriented JavaScript you would like to have that cleaned up as:
var address = {
houseNumber: "123",
streetName: "Elm Street",
streetAddress: function() {
console.log(houseNumber + " " + streetAddress);
}
}
Now our address looks a lot like a JSON object, right? Step 2 in the challenge will bring the use of the keyword this into play.
Happy coding,
Ken
