Creating Friendships >>More Parameter Modification >> Code Challenge "Help Please"

Hello!

So I thought I was faring quite well until this code challenge. Im not sure wh,y although im so stuck on it! The task is to" Delete the params[:status] hash if it exists in the params hash." I have watched the video over a dozen of times and would like an explanation on this if anyone can help. Thanks ahead of time and much appreciated!

Hey Giann, here's the way to pass the code challenge:

params.delete(:status) if params.has_key?(:status)
