Can't figure out the error, any help will be appreciated!
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
if grocery_item.has_value?("bread")
grocery_item["food"] = true
end

grocery_item.store("food", true)

If you do this, it will set your food key to true:
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread") # notice I'm checking the exact case as in the hash above
grocery_item["food"] = true
end
puts grocery_item["food"]
Let me know if that works out for you! ?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 18,120 PointsUsing 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.
