104,132 PointsFor the first part of the challenge, create an if statement to check if the value Bread is in the grocery_item hash. If it is then create a new food item with the value of true. For the second part of the challenge, set the values at item in the grocery_item hash equal to a new grocery_list array.
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
# check if the grocery_item hash contains a value called "Bread"
if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
grocery_item.store("food", true)
# you could also use bracket notation like this instead...
# grocery_item["food"] = true
end
# add the values at item in grocery_item to new grocery_list array
grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("item")
