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(prop !=="tracks"&&value!=="empty"){
collection[id][prop]=value;
}else if(prop ==="tracks"&& !collection[id].hasOwnProperty("tracks")){
collection[id][prop]=[value]; //Is this line creating a new array with new value?? :create an empty array before adding the new value to the album's corresponding property.???
}else if (prop ==="tracks"&& value !==""){
collection[id][prop].push(value);
}else if (value===""){
delete collection[id][prop];
}
return collection;
}
// Alter values below to test your code
updateRecords(5439, "artist", "ABBA");
