Here's my code:
grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("item").inspect
When I run it in irb, I get this array returned:
["bread"]
So why am I not passing the tests?
Thank you!
Donny
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
grocery_item.store("food", true)
end
grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("item").inspect

returns a string whereas values_at
returns an array
I added the following to the end of the code:
grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("item").inspect
p grocery_list
p grocery_list.instance_of? String
p grocery_list.instance_of? Array
The result is
"[\"Bread\"]"
true
false
Then I tested
grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("item")
p grocery_list
p grocery_list.instance_of? String
p grocery_list.instance_of? Array
The result is
["Bread"]
false
true
So for task 2 you want:
grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("item")
