Objects Methods Challenge Help

Here are my directions:

On 'andrew' and 'ryan', set the 'greet' method as the 'genericGreet' function.

I've tried a few different iterations of what I thought would be correct, but I truly have no clue what I'm doing wrong. Here's what I have now:

<script>

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

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

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



</script>

Thank you in advance!

Steve Leichman. You need to take out ryan and andrew in ryan.genericGreet and remember to put commas after the name. Does that make sense?

I'm new to JS (very) but it looks like you need four semicolons as in the below.

var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew";
    greet: andrew.genericGreet;
  }

  var ryan = {
    name: "Ryan";
    greet: ryan.genericGreet;
  }

Thank you, but that doesn't work. I still get "null" as a result. I've tried a hundred things I thought would be right and I've tried a hundred things out of left field. I'm just stuck on this one.

Ugh. Yes, it does.

Commas.

Stupid, f***ing, commas.
