Basic Data Structures - Access Property Names with Bracket Notation

JavaScript
1

How come you cannot use dot notation within this function?

let foods = {
  apples: 25,
  oranges: 32,
  plums: 28,
  bananas: 13,
  grapes: 35,
  strawberries: 27
};

function checkInventory(scannedItem) {
  // Only change code below this line
return foods[scannedItem];
  // Only change code above this line
}

console.log(checkInventory("apples"));
