whats the purpose of the Spoiled Alert's answer?

...The instructor's Spoiled Alert code returns $4.49,..shoudn't return $6.99?

// Instructors Code
const products = [
  { name: 'hard drive', price: 59.99 },
  { name: 'lighbulbs', price: 2.59 },
  { name: 'paper towels', price: 6.99 },
  { name: 'flatscreen monitor', price: 159.99 },
  { name: 'cable ties', price: 19.99 },
  { name: 'ballpoint pens', price: 4.49 }
];

const product = products
  .filter(product => product.price < 10)
  .reduce((highest, product) => {
    if (highest.price > product.price) {
      return highest.price; //...---> return highest
    }
    return product.price;  // --->return product
  }, {price: 0});

  console.log(product);

.....my code to return just the Price that is the highest and less than 10:

const product = products
  .filter(product => product.price < 10)
  .reduce((highest, product) => {
    if (highest.price > product.price) {
      return highest.price; 
    }
    return product;  
  }, {price: 0});

I believe you've discovered a bug in the code.

I wouldn't expect this to work, since the callback function passed to "reduce" returns a value, but the first parameter (and the dummy argument) are both product objects and not values. But if we make a few changes to account for this, it does work:

const product = products
  .filter(product => product.price < 10)
  .reduce((highestprice, product) => {
    if (highestprice > product.price) {
      return highestprice;
    }
    return product.price;
  }, 0);
