Challenge: Testing Objects for Properties

The basic answer is that you are overwriting obj with hardcoded data within your function as opposed to testing the object that is passed to checkObj to see if it has the property checkProp

Looking at your code more carefully I think I see why you are struggling.
You have worked out the logic… making a few minor typos along the way. Then when it hasn’t worked you’ve tried to do more in the process undoing what you had in the first place!

So:

  1. delete this:
obj={
  gift:"Pony"
  Pet:"Kitten"
  Bed:"Sleigh"
}
  1. Check this line for missing parenthesis AND a typo
if obj.hasOwnProperty(checkprop){

What is your updated code?

function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {

  // Only change code below this line

 

  if obj.hasOwnProperty(checkProp){

    return obj[checkProp]

  }else if  {

    return "Not Found"

  };

 

  // Only change code above this line

}

This is incorrect syntax for an if statement. I’d look back on the lesson that introduces if.

This is also bad syntax. You should review the lesson that introduces else statements.
