Testing Objects for Properties

[someguy1]

Hello again,

I’m currently having trouble creating the code using var lookup method. (Yes, I checked the HINT which displayed a solution using IF/ELSE, but I went in this direction and am currently stuck. Please help me understand what I’m missing/doing wrong (probably everything lol but I’d still like to know what I did wrong). THANK YOU SO MUCH!

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

  return checkObj[checkProp];
  return "Not Found";

  
  // Only change code above this line
}

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

What is this for?

@someguy1

checkObj(obj, checkProp)

You only need the function arguments for this challenge

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

I was kinda basing it off the example and using the array key lookup method (and information found for what the excercise is “testing” for) . So I’m guessing this is NOT the way?

huuuu ok. I’ll try again

No - you don’t need to create any object inside of your function. The object is passed in as obj

lmfao omg ok thank you for helping me understand that. I’ll working on this problem. THANK YOU!
