Having trouble with "Basic Data Structures: Modify an Array Stored in an Object"

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
Why am I not adding ‘Pete’ to the user.data.friends array?

I tried to follow the hints instruction, it didn’t go well.

Your code so far


let user = {
name: 'Kenneth',
age: 28,
data: {
  username: 'kennethCodesAllDay',
  joinDate: 'March 26, 2016',
  organization: 'freeCodeCamp',
  friends: [
    'Sam',
    'Kira',
    'Tomo'
  ],
  location: {
    city: 'San Francisco',
    state: 'CA',
    country: 'USA'
  }
}
};

function addFriend(userObj, friend) {
// Only change code below this line
[friend].push(user.data.friends);
return userObj.data.friends;
// Only change code above this line
}

console.log(addFriend(user, 'Pete'));

Your return statment is navigating well to the friends array. You should do the same for your first statement and push friend into friends.

Now it works, thanks for helping.

userObj is representing user so you dont need to repeat. All you have to do is push friend, nothing else
