myObj

You shouldn’t use myObj. You need to use the function argument obj.

Hi @mekki !

Welcome to the forum!

As mentioned, you shouldn’t create your own object here.
Delete this

@mekki

var myObj = {
 gift: "pony",
 pet: "kitten",
 bed: "sleigh",
 city: "Seattle"
};

Reason being is because you want your function to work for ANY object.
Not just one you created.
What if you had to test your function against 100 objects?
Are you going to code 100 different objects just to pass the test?
No, that is not practical

When you call the function, that is when you pass in an actual object

checkObj({gift: "pony", pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"}, "gift")

Now, your code should pass once you delete that object you created and use the correct parameter name .

Hope that helps!
