Question

I have been working on Javascript in codecademy and have a doubt on one of the questions.

Question:

Write two functions:

one creates an object from arguments
the other modifies that object

My answer:

//First, the object creator
function makeGamePlayer(name,totalScore,gamesPlayed) {
    //should return an object with three keys:
    // name
    // totalScore
    // gamesPlayed
    var myObject = {
     "name": name,
     "totalscore" : totalscore,
     "gamesPlayed" : gamesPlayed
    };
  return myObject;
}

//Now the object modifier
function addGameToPlayer(player,score) {
    //should increment gamesPlayed by one
    //and add score to totalScore
    //of the gamePlayer object passed in as player
    var score = player[totalscore];
    score =score+1;
    player[totalscore] = score;
}

Not sure where my error is. Need some guidance on improving this solution.. Many Thanks…

Answer 1

in your object you are never assigning the score

"totalscore" : totalscore,

should be

"totalscore" : totalScore

since you are passing in totalScore
