Testing objects for properties troubles

JavaScript
1

what’s happening:
heyy
I’ve been working on this problem and have been able to provide 3 different solutions to be able to get all check, except the last one.

*checkObj({pet: “kitten”, bed: “sleigh”}, “gift”) should return the string Not Found .

is it requiring me to set up a “case” basis? ive done that and still same occurs.

any help is super appreciated!

  **Your code so far**


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

if (obj.hasOwnProperty(checkProp)) {
return obj[checkProp];
} else
return "Not Found";
}

checkObj("");

Hi @rsmith90 !

You are not supposed to create your own object.

This is incorrect.

You want to write a function that works for ANY object.

Not just one that you hardcoded yourself.

Hope that helps!

ive also tried without adding var’s but it x’s all

You need to delete the whole object.

Not just the var keyword.

removed whole object and ran checkObj({pet: “kitten”, bed: “sleigh”}, “gift”) and passed
*sighs in relief
thank you for your help!

Hi @rsmith90 how are you, the prob is that you have defined the var obj inside the function so it has a local scope meaning, it cannot be accessed outside the function, and additionally you haven’t passed the correct function arguments ( checkObj("") ) and lastly the function parameter obj has been defined as a variable, my suggestion would be… Removing the obj variable and inputting the correct arguments in the function call => i.e

function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {
// Only change code below this line
if (obj.hasOwnProperty(checkProp)) {
return obj[checkProp];
} else
return "Not Found";
}
var object = {
gift: "pony",
pet: "kitten",
bed: "sleigh",
city: "Seattle",
};

checkObj(object,"pet");
