6,829 PointsGetting an error for this if statement inside an object method
The error states, "Bummer: Something is incorrect. Check that you wrote an if statement inside the method. Check that you're using dot notation. Are you using the this keyword?" I feel like its something very simple I'm missing. However, there's nothing in any of the previous videos or that I can find that is helping me.
const player1 = {
name: 'Ashley',
color: 'purple',
isTurn: true,
play: function(){
if (player1.isTurn) {}
}
}

3,284 PointsWhile your codes run perfectly without any problems, the challenge is asking you to replace player1
with the keyword this
.
this
refers to the current object it belongs to:
const player1 = {
name: 'Ashley',
color: 'purple',
isTurn: true,
play: function(){
if (this.isTurn) {}
}
}
