Why isn't my code working?

I am stuck at the “Testing Objects for Properties”
exercise and I am not entirely sure what’s wrong with it.

.hasOwnProperty() should return a boolean, and obj.checkProp a string right? What I am missing here ? I already tried to put the value of obj.checkProp into a variable and messing with the objects themselves. Nothing works D:

My code so far:


function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {
// Only change code below this line
if(obj.hasOwnProperty(checkProp)){
  return obj.checkProp;
}else{
  return "Not Found";
}
// Only change code above this line
}

checkObj({gift: "pony", pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"}, "gift");
checkObj({gift: "pony", pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"}, "pet");
checkObj({gift: "pony", pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"}, "house");
checkObj({city: "Seattle"}, "city");
checkObj({city: "Seattle"}, "district");
checkObj({pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"}, "gift");

Only if obj has a property with the literal name “checkProp”. Remember that dot notation only works with property names. If you are using a variable you need to use bracket notation.
