1,026 PointsWhat's wrong with my code?
It keeps telling me that "food" does not appear on the grocery_item has as "true". But I'm looking at the code and I think I got it correctly. What am I doing wrong? Been staring at this code for awhile.
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread") == true
grocery_item = { "food" => "true" }
end

if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread") == true
end
into
if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
end
second off, change
if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
grocery_item = { "food" => "true" }
end
into
if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
grocery_item["food"] == true
end

1,026 PointsThanks Alex! Tried that code but the error is still coming up. Not sure if that's a bug here on Treehouse. :(

grocery_item["food"] = true

65,469 Pointsgrocery_item["food"]
is "Bread", so you can also set it to true.
grocery_item["food"] = true
Use true, not the string "true". That's what treehouse excepts.
Hope you understand! ~xela888
