Describe your issue in detail here.
Hi lovely comunity,

I am not understanding this one. I tried based on some forum replies but I still do not seem to be able to pass this test. Can someone explain me how to solve and also explain why it is so?

I am feeling a little lost now.

Thank you in advance.
Your code so far

function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {
  // Only change code below this line
if (obj[checkObj]){
   return obj[checkObj];
}
else {
  return "Not Found";
}
   // Only change code above this line
} console.log(checkObj({gift: "pony", pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"})

He challenge talks about

What is the ‘checkObj’ and where it is defined in the code?
You should check if argument ‘obj’ has its own property (argument ‘checkProp’ in the function). If it has that property then the function call should return its value:

For example, If I have an object ‘myObj’:

const myObj = {gift: "pony", pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"};

After the function call and print output in the console, we should get:

console.log(checkObj(myObj, "gift"));

Console:
pony
