I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

You have two problems.

First, you declare an object called “obj”:

var obj = {
  gift: "pony",
  pet: "kitten",
  bed: "sleigh"
};

But the instructions say:

… test if an object passed to the function ( obj )…

So, you are not supposed to create your own object, but use the one passed into the function:

function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {

Your second problem is here:

if (obj.hasOwnProperty("checkProp")){

You are passing that method a string literal, so it is checking if that specific string exists, in other words, you are checking if obj has a property specifically called “checkProp”. But you want to check the string that is held in a variable by that name.

When I fix those two things, your code passes for me.
