Testing Objects for Properties

Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.

My code:```javascript

// Setup var myObj = { gift: “pony”, pet: “kitten”, bed: “sleigh” };

function checkObj(checkProp) { // Your Code Here

if (myObj.hasOwnProperty(“checkProp”)=== true); {return myObj[checkProp];}
return “Not Found” ; }

// Test your code by modifying these values checkObj(“house”);

I'm using a firefox browser and cannot get a screen-shot to paste - sorry.  My issue is the final  'return "Not Found";  ' statement in this exercise will not execute when the condition is false.  I checked the format of this exercise with one from a previous exercise (Chaining If Else Statements), and it is the same basic format once you comment out the extra if-else statements there.  I did not find any other solutions in Git Hub or elsewhere online. I did notice some people used an 'else' in front of ' return "Not Found" ;  ', but when I attempt it, I get an error, otherwise, the editor does not show any other errors for my code.

OK, this is another example of not getting enough information from the sample code. Nowhere in there is the suggestion that an if/return/else statement should be used…

I’m not sure where else to put this piece of .02, but honestly, the chat room is NOT helpful. For people who are really trying hard to put in the effort that it takes to learn to code (for me, with ZERO tech background), it seems like there would be a forum available to help. This feels like the 50 millionth time I’ve tried finding help through the forums and it’s really offputting to just see moderators telling people to use the (useless and unhelpful) chat room. It’s frustrating learning to code as it is, and this insistence on using a form of “help” that isn’t helpful is making it so much worse.
