This is confusing

I am not sure exactly what to do in this case. It is telling me to set the greet method as the generic greet function. So do I assign the greet method to the generic greet variable?

Hi Damien,

andrew and ryan already have a name property with a name set. The challenge wants you to add the greet method to both and set it to the genericGreet function

var andrew = {
        name: "Andrew",
        greet: // set the generic greet function here
      }

 var ryan = {
        name: "Ryan",
        greet: // set the generic greet function here
      }

Hi Damien, here is what you should have.

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

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

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