Struggling on Wherefore art thou

Tell us what’s happening:
So I’m struggling on this pretty hard. What I have passes some of the checks but doesn’t for the others.Originally I wanted to use filter but trying to implement it I realized I has no idea what exactly I’d set to filter. Anyway I think it might have something to do with the other checks including arguments with more than one property. Thinking along those lines I’m still not sure what direction to do. I was thinking maybe storing the source properties in another array and checking them against the collection? I’m just confused and kinda of struggling to find a direction to go. Advice is appreciated.

Your code so far

function whatIsInAName(collection, source) {
const arrForName = [];
const sourceProp = Object.keys(source);
console.log(source[sourceProp]);

for (const obj in collection) {
    for(const objProp in collection[obj]) {
     if (collection[obj].hasOwnProperty(sourceProp)&&collection[obj][objProp] === source[sourceProp]){
       
       arrForName.push(collection[obj]);
         
       }

     }

    }

console.log(arrForName);
return arrForName;
}

whatIsInAName([{ first: "Romeo", last: "Montague" }, { first: "Mercutio", last: null }, { first: "Tybalt", last: "Capulet" }], { last: "Capulet" })

Link to the challenge:

what exactly is seemingly more confusing? talk about it some more :slight_smile:

did you try looking into “test cases” and see theirs expected outputs are?

did you understand what problem statement is asking here to do?

take one simple reasoning first and then have a crack at it and then move onto next

happy learning :slight_smile:
