What’s the monsterHealth variable? I’ve tried several combinations and still I can’t solve it. I need some help.

Hello, your very close to solving this, all that is missing is .health

In JavaScript, dot notation is a way to access the properties of an object. For example, if you have an object called `person` with a property called `name`, you would access the `name` property using `person.name`.

You can also use dot notation to call methods on an object. For example, if you have an object called `calculator` with a method called `add`, you would call the `add` method using `calculator.add()`.

Dot notation is a very convenient way to access the properties and methods of objects. It is also very easy to read and understand.
