Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
I am following along with a YouTube video, but I cannot seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. On line 26 of the code there is an syntax error > } else if (prop === ‘tracks’ && object[id].hasOwnProper object[id][prop] = [value];. The > sign or arrow points out that particular line of code, but I cannot figure out what I need to edit. Do I need to remove the quotations?

Your code so far

// Setup
const recordCollection = {
  2548: {
    albumTitle: 'Slippery When Wet',
    artist: 'Bon Jovi',
    tracks: ['Let It Rock', 'You Give Love a Bad Name']
  },
  2468: {
    albumTitle: '1999',
    artist: 'Prince',
    tracks: ['1999', 'Little Red Corvette']
  },
  1245: {
    artist: 'Robert Palmer',
    tracks: []
  },
  5439: {
    albumTitle: 'ABBA Gold'
  }
};

// Only change code below this line
function updateRecords(object, id, prop, value) {
 if (prop !== 'tracks' && value !== '') {
   object[id][prop] = value;
 } else if (prop === 'tracks' && object[id].hasOwnProper object[id][prop] = [value];
 } else if (prop === 'tracks' && value !== ''){
  object[id][prop].push(value);
 } else if (value === ''){ 
   delete object[id][prop];
 }
  return object;
}
updateRecords(recordCollection, 5439, 'artist', 'ABBA')

Hey!

If you check out the following code, you have a misspelling. You also forgot to close the ) and add the opening { in your code.

Some of the other lines of code seemed not to have opening brackets and they still passed. I think it’s because there is an opening bracket starting on line 23 that kind of encompasses the whole thing. Thanks for pointing out the misspelling and parenthesis. I added an exclamation point and another set of ‘tracks’ to the code, fixed the misspelling and parenthesis and it passed.
