I am not sure why my var greeting = andrew.genericGreet.apply(andrew, args1) is returning an undefinded object...

Instead, you should be doing this on the genericGreet function, and pass andrew as a parameter:
var greeting = genericGreet.apply(andrew, args1);

2,275 PointsAfter watching the video again, I moved the genericGreet object inside the andrew object and used
var greeting = andrew.genericGreet.apply(andrew, args1);
This works too. Thanks!
I took a print shot of the code and wanted to show people by posting it here but I don't know how to post codes in the forum like you so that people can cut and paste it to try. How do you do it?
And how do I test the treehouse codes on console like the videos??

Courses Plus Student 44,108 PointsThat might work, but it wasn't really the point of the code challenge — your solution is more complicated than it should be.
You can read about posting code here, or check the Markdown Cheatsheet under the post text field.
Oh and you can find how to open the JavaScript console in various browsers here. Then you can just enter the code into the console and test it out.
