Describe your issue in detail here.

   **Your code so far**

function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {
 var result =""
 // Only change code below this line
 obj={
"gift": "pony",
"pet": "kitten",
"bed" : "sleigh",
"city" : "Seattle",
 };
 if (obj.hasOwnProperty(checkProp)){
   result = obj[checkProp];
return result
 }

 else{
 return "Not Found";
 }

 // Only change code above this line
}

i am getting this eror
// running tests
checkObj({pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"}, "gift") should return the string Not Found.
// tests completed

unable to understand. Please help

your code is correct but you have declared variable result above the comment where it instructs you to only change code below this line

yes, this was a second trial after i was not getting results in the below code

function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {

// Only change code below this line
obj={
“gift”: “pony”,
“pet”: “kitten”,
“bed” : “sleigh”,
“city” : “Seattle”,
};
if (obj.hasOwnProperty(checkProp)){
return obj[checkProp];

}

else{
return “Not Found”;
}

// Only change code above this line
}
this code still gives the same error

sorry I did not notice it earlier, you are not supposed to create obj of your own, when function checkObj is called the obj is created and given as argument
