book["author"]

I notice that the answer might be missing something. I used book.author it worked but when I used the bracket notation. It didnt seem to go through. I type it book["author"].

Is anyone facing the same problem? because from the videos I thought they mean the same thing

Did you test the problem in your browser's console? Because your answer is technically correct, but may not have been what was taught in the instructor's video.

I will note that the quizzes are tied a bit too hard to the preceding video, but it is what it is.

Hi Ezell,

Yup I did it on the browser's console. It worked. Not sure why though it didnt work for me in the quiz, might be a glitch in the answer where they forgot to add that answer in the "if(answer === "book['author']") statements". LOL so JS language. I am just guessing that is how they did the quiz, I might be wrong.

Thanks for the reply.
