4,403 PointsI don't know what I am doing wrong here. Question is asking me to write an if statement inside a method of an object
I have done what it has asked and it still gives me an incorrect
const player1 = {
name: 'Ashley',
color: 'purple',
isTurn: true,
play: function(){
if (player1.isTurn) {}
}
}

3,997 PointsI solved this one today, and found the wording a little annoying. During the previous video, there's a little text box which pops up with some information about 'Object Literals Referring to Themselves' which is explained in the teachers notes.
You're doing the absolute correct thing, but the challenge is picky and wants you to use 'this', rather than 'player1' within your condition statement. To pass, it needs to read if (this.isTurn) {}.
Let me know if that works for you, and hope this helps!

11,785 PointsHi, Bec Asmar ,
I'm a bit of a beginner here, too, so take this with a grain of salt, but from what I can see you've almost got it! You've correctly used dot notation to access the "isTurn" key of the "player1" object. Now you just need to add the equality operator and boolean after it (but still within the parentheses) to check the value of the "isTurn" key. I hope that makes sense! If not, maybe someone else will have a better explanation!
