Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


// Setup
var collection = {
    "2548": {
      "album": "Slippery When Wet",
      "artist": "Bon Jovi",
      "tracks": [ 
        "Let It Rock", 
        "You Give Love a Bad Name" 
      ]
    },
    "2468": {
      "album": "1999",
      "artist": "Prince",
      "tracks": [ 
        "1999", 
        "Little Red Corvette" 
      ]
    },
    "1245": {
      "artist": "Robert Palmer",
      "tracks": [ ]
    },
    "5439": {
      "album": "ABBA Gold"
    }
};
// Keep a copy of the collection for tests
var collectionCopy = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(collection));

// Only change code below this line
function updateRecords(id, prop, value) {

    
    if ( value === "") {
      return collection;
    }else {
      if(collection[id][prop]){
        if(prop == "tracks") {
          collection[id][prop].push(value);
        }else {
          collection[id][prop] = value;
        }
      } else{
        if(prop == "tracks") {
          collection[id][prop] = [];
          collection[id][prop].push(value);
        }else {
          collection[id][prop] = value;
        }
      }
      return collection;
    }
      
    

  
}

// Alter values below to test your code
updateRecords(5439, "tracks", "Take a Chance on Me");
updateRecords(2548, "artist", "");
updateRecords(2548, "tracks", "");

Hi! I would love to help you, since I also had some problems with that exercise, could you please explain your train of thought? It would be a lot easier to do help you that way. What I ended up doing was prioritizing “if statements” so I would need the least amount of code.
