I am trying to make the function in this code run a different greeting based upon the value of each customer's 'visits'. I keep getting an error that says "Cannot read property 'visits' of undefined."

What am I missing here?

var customerData = {
  'Joe': {
    visits: 1
  },
  'Carol': {
    visits: 2
  },
  'Howard': {
    visits: 3,
  },
  'Carrie': {
    visits: 4
  }
};


function greetCustomer(firstName) {
  var greeting = '';
  
  if(customerData.firstName.visits === 1){
        greeting = "Welcome back, " + firstname +"!" + " We're glad you liked us the first time!";
  }
  else if(customerData.firstName.visits > 1){
        greeting = "Welcome back, " + firstname +"!" + " So glad to see you again!";
  }
  else{
      greeting = "Welcome! Is this your first time?";
  }
  
  return greeting;
}

greetCustomer("Carrie");

There is no literal property `firstName`. Instead, use bracket notation: `customerData[firstName].visits` – Andrew Li Jan 02 '17 at 04:50
Doesn't seem to fix it – alexev31 Jan 02 '17 at 06:37
Why not? What doesn't work? – Andrew Li Jan 02 '17 at 06:38
I changed the if statement to: if(customerData[firstName].visits === 1){ .............. Is this what you meant? – alexev31 Jan 02 '17 at 07:01
yes, with bracket notation – Andrew Li Jan 02 '17 at 07:02
It give me the error "ReferenceError: firstname is not defined" – alexev31 Jan 02 '17 at 07:03
forgot to capitalize, now it works, thanks so much! – alexev31 Jan 02 '17 at 07:04
