961 PointsGetting the correct value in a Hash
Hi! I'm trying to pass this challenge:
Using the has_value? method, check to see if the grocery_item hash has a value called "Bread". If it does, set a new key in the hash called "food" with the value of true.
It's telling me that "food" is not returning a value of true. When I run this in irb it works fine. I'm unsure what I might be missing here...
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
grocery_item.store("food", "true")
end
