please help

inside the if statement add a method

object.js 
const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        // write code here.
      if (this.isTurn) {};
    cosolo.log('name')
    }
}

cosolo.log should perhaps be console.log. I'm not sure about the rest, since I'm not to the .this section.

Looks like you have a few typos and syntax errors:

  • "cosolo" should be "console"
  • you want the console.log to be in the curly braces after the if statement
  • and you want to console.log the name property of player1, so you'll need to use dot syntax
var player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        // write code here.
      if (this.isTurn) {
         console.log(player1.name);
      }
    }
}
player1.play();
