Stuck on returning values challenge

Instead of logging out the full name, modify the code so it returns the string instead. Started with:

console.log(this.firstName + " " + this.lastName);

I changed it to the current code:

return "fullName";

Not sure what is wrong!

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

So for this you will need to return something using return You had the right idea with console.log() but instead of logging it, you need to return what you where going to log.

 console.log(this.firstName + " " + this.lastName);

How can we call .log methods? Using the example below:

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