Profile lookup understanding

Why is it, whenever I have to complete a problem on my own, I draw a blank. But when I see the solution, I understand everything which is written. So frustrating. Any advice? Makes me lose belief in myself sometimes, will I ever get it…

Reading and comprehending is a different skill set than problem solving. Both are important, but it sounds like you’ve been increasing your reading comprehension skill by looking at solutions, and therefor haven’t been growing your problem solving skills.

Record collection and profile lookup are the only two I have hit a wall with so far…
My code has nearly been correct, I was using bracket notation and for some reason i always forget about the simple attribute .hasOwnProperty() grrrr…
Thanks for replying, I will try to not to look at peoples solutions so soon. I’m just so eager to be good at this and it kills me when i see the word “Basic javaScript”
