Hello there.

Do you have a question?

If so, please edit your post to include it in the Tell us what’s happening section.

Learning to describe problems is hard, but it is an important part of learning how to code.

Also, the more information you give us, the more likely we are to be able to help.


Dot notation can only be used with the exact literal property name. For a variable holding a property name, you need to use bracket notation.

Hello there,
I have seen the problem. that is not how to return an array use return obj[checkProp];
one more thing, you cant have two returns inside the else. so delete the return “change me”
