Treehouse TeacherYou're off to a good start!
The first problem is that method names are case-sensitive. There is no method named Has_key?
, there is only a method named has_key?
.
Once you have that fixed, hash.has_key?
will return either true
or false
(true
in this case). You need to use that value in an if
statement.
hash = { "name" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "calories" => 100 }
if hash.has_key?("calories")
# YOUR CODE HERE
end
Within that if
statement, that's where you'll need to set the food
variable.
