using genericGreet function in context of andrew and passing array of args1

You need to use the apply() method, as it will let you invoke the function with arguments as an array (or an array like-object). See here

Pseudo syntax:

  theFunction.apply(valueForThis, arrayOfArgs);

Answer:

   var greeting = genericGreet.apply(andrew, args1);

Ah ok, use .apply(andrew, args1) on the first genericGreet, and remove that last line.

So instead of:

  var greeting = genericGreet;
  genericGreet.apply(andrew, args1);

It should just be:

var greeting = genericGreet.apply(andrew, args1);

Chris,

I tried that already and this is the error msg I get: Bummer! The 'greeting' variable should be 'Hello Michael, my name is Andrew and I am in a awesome mood!'.

Well that's weird, passes for me every time. can you post your code?

      var genericGreet = function(name, mood) {
        name = name || "you";
        mood = mood || "good";
        return "Hello " + name + ", my name is " + this.name +
          " and I am in a " + mood + " mood!";
      }

      var andrew = {
        name: "Andrew"
      }

      var args1 = ["Michael", "awesome", ":)"];

      var greeting = genericGreet.apply(andrew, args1); 

Here it is:

var genericGreet = function(name, mood) { name = name || "you"; mood = mood || "good"; return "Hello " + name + ", my name is " + this.name + " and I am in a " + mood + " mood!"; }

  var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew"
  }

  var args1 = ["Michael", "awesome", ":)"];

  var greeting = genericGreet;
  genericGreet.apply(andrew, args1);

Oh wow! That did work! Not sure why it made the difference?

Thanks so much Chris!

You're welcome. :)
