Tell us what’s happening:

  1. Your removePlant function should return a boolean value indicating if the removal has been successful.
    This test seems to be failing for some reason. Am I missing something?

Your code so far

const ballerina = {
    commonName: "Spanish lavender",
    scientificName: "Lavandula stoechas",
    cultivar: "Ballerina"
}

const prettyPolly = {
    commonName: "Spanish lavender",
    scientificName: "Lavandula stoechas",
    cultivar: "Pretty Polly"
}

const willowVale = {
    commonName: "Spanish lavender",
    scientificName: "Lavandula stoechas",
    cultivar: "Willow Vale"
}

const hidcote = {
    commonName: "English lavender",
    scientificName: "Lavandula angustifolia",
    cultivar: "Hidcote"
}

const imperialGem = {
    commonName: "English lavender",
    scientificName: "Lavandula angustifolia",
    cultivar: "Imperial Gem"
}

const royalCrown = {
    commonName: "French lavender",
    scientificName: "Lavandula dentata",
    cultivar: "Royal Crown"
}

const catalog = new Map();
catalog.set(ballerina, { small: 20, medium: 15, large: 12 });
catalog.set(prettyPolly, { small: 31, medium: 14, large: 24 });
catalog.set(willowVale, { small: 3, medium: 5, large: 0 });
catalog.set(hidcote, { small: 33, medium: 13, large: 18 });
catalog.set(imperialGem, { small: 19, medium: 35, large: 28 });
catalog.set(royalCrown, { small: 40, medium: 22, large: 9 });


// User Editable Region

const removePlant = (plant) => {
  catalog.delete(plant);
  return !catalog.has(plant);
};

console.log(removePlant("ballerina"));


// User Editable Region


const sellPlants = (plant, size, potsNo) => {
    const name = `${plant.scientificName} '${plant.cultivar}'`
    const pots = catalog.get(plant);
    if (pots[size] - potsNo < 0) {
        return `Not enough ${size} size pots for ${name}. Only ${pots[size]} left.`
    }
    pots[size] -= potsNo;
    return `Catalog successfully updated.`
}

console.log(sellPlants(ballerina, "small", 10));

console.log(catalog)

Hi @zebthebuilder and welcome to our community!

The delete method automatically returns a Boolean value, so you do not need to code this separately in your function. Simply return the delete method instead.

you need to consider the case in which the plant was not present in the catalog from the beginning, in that case the delete does not happen, and you should return false, your function does not do that

remember that delete returns a boolean already
