using the has_value? method, check to see..

I keep getting the error that 'has_value?' method hasn't been used, can someone tell me what is wrong with my code please?

hash.rb 
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }

if (grocery_item.has_value?("Bread") == true)
  grocery_item = {"food" => true}

end

Hi there, you should be using the [] notation when adding a new key-value pair to a Hash.

grocery_item["food"] = true

The rest of your code is correct :)
