Tell us what’s happening:
It seems right but doesn’t work!

Your code so far


let dog = {
name: "Spot",
numLegs: 4,
sayLegs: function() {
return "This dog has" + dog.numLegs + "legs.";
}
};
dog.sayLegs();

I suggest you tru to put this in a console.log like this:

console.log(dog.sayLegs());

The problem is that you’re trying to use dog.numLegs before dog actually exists (it only exists after the whole let dog = ... line). I think you need to use this.numLegs (where this refers to the object, before it’s assigned to dog).

I’ve tried that too my friend.

I found out the problem , you should have gaps on either side of “4” when it’s returned.
However thanks for your reply dude.

Bah! I should have run the code before replying.
