not able to understand whats wrong with the code it is giving the error ```
checkObj({pet: “kitten”, bed: “sleigh”}, “gift”)


should return the string

Not Found


.
      
```js
function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {
// Only change code below this link
var obj = {
gift: "pony",
pet: "kitten",
bed: "sleigh",
city: "Seattle",
}

if (obj.hasOwnProperty(checkProp)){
  return obj[checkProp];
}
else{
  return "Not Found";
}
// Only change code above this line
}

console.log(checkObj({pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"}, "gift"))

obj is an object that is being passed into this function. In your implementation though, you have chosen to overwrite obj with your own hardcoded version. Instead, just trust that obj will be an object already and you don’t need to overwrite it.
