1,206 PointsHow could you possibly use bracket notation on line 8?
I don't see any way to use bracket notation but it's failing me because I'm not
const player1 = {
name: 'Ashley',
color: 'purple',
isTurn: true,
play: function(){
// write code here.
if(this.isTurn){
return `${this.name} is now playing!`
}
}
}

so this.name
becomes this["name"]
.

1,206 PointsThanks, I had tried that but still got error, turned out it was an editor flaw, when I refreshed the page it accepted
this["name"]
