this code

Hi Mohammad,

Try use template literals or string concatenation so that the string returned from the function is equal to the phrase 'Ashley is now playing!'

Hope that helps, Ashley

try this: const player1 = { name: 'Ashley', color: 'purple', isTurn: true, play: function(){ if (this.isTurn) { } return player1['name'] + ' is now playing!' }

const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
      if (this.isTurn) {
                return player1['name'] + ' is now playing!' 
      }
    }
}
