Tell us what’s happening:

Hello. I pass all tests except for 3, it is failing because its giving the property “tracks” a duplicate value.

Your code so far

const recordCollection = {
  2548: {
    albumTitle: 'Slippery When Wet',
    artist: 'Bon Jovi',
    tracks: ['Let It Rock', 'You Give Love a Bad Name']
  },
  2468: {
    albumTitle: '1999',
    artist: 'Prince',
    tracks: ['1999', 'Little Red Corvette']
  },
  1245: {
    artist: 'Robert Palmer',
    tracks: []
  },
  5439: {
    albumTitle: 'ABBA Gold'
  }
};

const updateRecords = (records, id, prop, value) => {
  if (value == "") {
    delete records[id][prop];
  };
  if (prop != "tracks" && value != "") {
    records[id][prop] = [value];
  };
  if (prop == "tracks" && value != "" && !records[id].hasOwnProperty("tracks")) {
    records[id][prop] = [];
    records[id][prop].push(value);
  };
  if (prop == "tracks" && value != "" && records[id].hasOwnProperty("tracks")) {
    records[id][prop].push(value);
  };
  return records;
};

// console.log(updateRecords(recordCollection, 5439, "artist", "ABBA"));
// console.log(updateRecords(recordCollection, 5439, "tracks", "Take a Chance on Me"));

hello!

these are two if conditions and not else if, so the code will try to execute both the statements if the conditions are true.

after executing the first if , the 5439 id of recordCollection has a tracks property, which makes the second if condition true, and therefore it is also executed, pushing a copy of value in tracks.

3

you also need to consider here, if prop is not tracks, do you need an array?

Thanks a lot, that fixed it.
