The problem is that chair must be a string, otherwise, JavaScript thinks you are referring a variable that does not exist. Thats the reason you are getting a "Reference Error", you can't reference a variable that does not exist.
Solution:
addInventory("chair", 3);

Courses Plus Student 11,987 PointsWait a minute here. Doesn't this function take in an object name and then a number value? You should be adding to the object inventory with this code:
object.inventory += number;
It should be:
addInventory(product, 3);
where the first argument is the object product.
I think you have this confused and are trying to add a new property or change the property 'name' value to chair.
