You are creating your own object, myObj. Don’t do that - you should be using the one that is passed in as a parameter, obj. That way the function is more flexible and the tests can test it with different objects.

When I fix that, your code passes for me.

Thanks for the quick respond… Really appreciate it. do you mean like this:
// because i still get the same error

function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {

// Only change code below this line

var Obj = {

gift: “pony”,

pet: “kitten”,

bed: “sleigh”,

city: “Seattle”,

};

if(Obj.hasOwnProperty(checkProp)){

return Obj[checkProp];

}

else return “Not Found”;{

return “Change Me!”;

}

// Only change code above this line

}

No, I’m saying this:

var Obj = {
  gift: “pony”,
  pet: “kitten”,
  bed: “sleigh”,
  city: “Seattle”,
};

Don’t do that. You were passed a parameter:

function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {

That first parameter, obj, is the object you should be using, the one that is being passed in.
