JavaScript

Can anyone tell me where im going wrong with this please ?

   **Your code so far**

function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {
 // Only change code below this line
 if (obj.hasOwnProperty(checkProp) === true){
    return checkObj.checkProp;
 }
  
  return "Not Found"
 // Only change code above this line
}

You can’t use dot notation with variables holding the name of a property. You can only use dot notation with the exact, literal property name you want.

HI @FlashSampson !

Welcome to the forum!

Glad you were able to figure it out :+1:

As a helpful tip, you don’t need to include === true in your if statement

The hasOwnProperty() method returns a boolean (true or false)

You could just have this

if (obj.hasOwnProperty(checkProp))

Hope that helps! :+1:
