Tell us what’s happening:

I get the correct property value when I logged the object alongside the property name to the console using bracket notation. However, I’m still not getting pass this exercise.

Your code so far

const tiger = {
  species: "Tiger",
  age: 5,
  isEndangered: true
};

const elephant = {
  species: "Elephant",
  age: 10,
  isEndangered: true
};

const getSpecies = (animal) => {
  return animal.species;
};

console.log(getSpecies(tiger));

const getAge = (animal) => {
  return animal.age;
};

console.log(getAge(tiger));

const addHabitat = (animal, habitat) => {
  animal.habitat = habitat;
  return animal;
};

console.log(addHabitat(tiger, "Rainforest"));

const updateAge = (animal, newAge) => {
  animal.age = newAge;
  return animal;
};

console.log(updateAge(elephant, 12));

const removeEndangeredStatus = (animal) => {
  delete animal.isEndangered;
  return animal;
};

console.log(removeEndangeredStatus(tiger));

const hasHabitat = (animal) => {
  return animal.hasOwnProperty("habitat");
};

console.log(hasHabitat(tiger));
console.log(hasHabitat(elephant));


// User Editable Region

function getProperty (animal, propertyName) { 
  animal[species] = propertyName; 
  return animal;
   
}


console.log(getProperty (tiger, "species")); 
console.log(getProperty (elephant, "age"));

What value is represented here?

animal[species]

If you put the above inside a console log inside your function what message are you getting.

Here:

return animal;

you are simply returning the object represented by the parameter ‘animal’. You are asked to return the value of hte property inside the object (represented by the parameter propertyName) using bracket notation.
