Understanding this

Challenge Task 1 of 2

Modify this object so it uses two properties firstName and lastName and remove their variable declarations from the fullName method. Don't do anything to the console.log() call right now.

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

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

They want to see those variables stored as properties inside the object literal instead of declared with var and then referenced later on with "this".
