I’m having trouble updating the score property. I’m fairly new but still feel crazy not being able to figure this out.
‘fight’ is a string
function alphabetWar(fight) { let leftSide = { 'w': 4, 'p': 3, 'b': 2, 's': 1, 'score': 0 } let rightSide = { 'm': 4, 'q': 3, 'd': 2, 'z': 1, 'score': 0 } for (let char of fight) { if (leftSide.hasOwnProperty(char)) { leftSide.score += leftSide.char; if (rightSide.hasOwnProperty(char)) { rightSide.score += rightSide.char; } } } console.log(leftSide.score) if (leftSide.score === rightSide.score) return "Let's fight again!"; return leftSide.score > rightSide.score ? 'Left side wins!' : 'Right side wins!'; }

You can try:
for (let char of fight.split('')) { if(typeof leftSide[char] != 'undefined'){ leftSide.score += leftSide[char] } if(typeof rightSide[char] != 'undefined'){ rightSide.score += rightSide[char] } }
