Not sure what I'm Missing on this assignement

I'm not sure I'm understanding what the question is asking me to do. I've tried everything i can think of and it keeps telling me I'm doing it wrong.

object.js 
var contact = {
  this.firstName: "Andrew",
  this.lastName: "Chalkley"};
    console.log(firstName + " " + lastName);

I think it's the comma after "Andrew" on the second line. It should be a semi-colon.

Hey Matthew!

You are on the right track. For the firstName and lastName properties, you don't need the this keywords. Where you will need it is in the fullName method (your console.log statement will make use of this.firstName and this.lastName).

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions!
