Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 17,901 PointsI'm stuck on the first part of the challenge
Why does the challenge not accept this code?
const player1 = { name: 'Ashley', color: 'purple', isTurn: true, play: function(){ if ( this.isTurn ) { } } }
The statement "works" in the browser console, in that it doesn't throw a syntax error. I've tried variations of the if-statement that are functionally the same and haven't found the magic sequence that it wants.

Here is the challenge instructions: Inside the play method, write an empty if statement that checks if it's the players turn. Use dot notation.
Here is the error my answer returns: 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?

7,028 PointsHello. How could I do the segond part of this question please. each time I do it, it doesn't work. It says:
Inside the if statement, return a string equal to the value of the name property followed by the string " is now playing!". Use bracket notation.

name: 'Ashley',
color: 'purple',
isTurn: true,
play: function(){
if (this.isTurn) {
return(${player1['name']} is now playing!
);
}
}
}
I used template literal (using back ticks shared with the tilde mark) as show above. Maybe give that a try and let me know?
