why doesn't this query below result in the correct answer: hash.has_key?("calories") the question is to find out if the hash variable has a key called "calories"
hash = { "name" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "calories" => 100 }
hash.has_key?("calories")

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing terrific and that line that checks if hash.has_key?
runs and is spot on! However, the result of that question isn't saved anywhere. It seems you may have missed the second line of the instructions:
If it does, set a new variable called food to true.
So your second line should begin with food =
.
Hope this helps!
