Record Collection Issue -- Can't push tracks value to the array

Tell us what’s happening:

For some reason I can’t get the ‘tracks’ property to push to the array.

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 (collection.hasOwnProperty(id)) {
      if (collection[id][prop] !== 'tracks' && value !== ''){
        collection[id][prop] = value;
      } else if (prop == 'tracks' && value){
        collection[id][prop].push(value);
      } else if (prop == 'tracks' && value !== ''){
        collection[id][prop] = [];
        collection[id][prop].push(value);
      } else if (value == false) {
        delete collection[id][prop];
      }
  } else {
    collection[id] = {};
    if (collection[id][prop] !== 'tracks' && value !== ''){
        collection[id][prop] = value;
      } else if (prop == 'tracks' && value){
        collection[id][prop].push(value);
      } else if (prop == 'tracks' && value !== ''){
        collection[id][prop] = [];
        collection[id][prop].push(value);
      } else if (value == false) {
        delete collection[id][prop];
      }
  }
  
  return collection;
}

// Alter values below to test your code
updateRecords(5439, "artist", "ABBA");

These two conditions are the same (value is true/value is not false), so second one isn’t going to execute

Awesome!! Thanks for your help, Dan.
