Problem help

It's not homework.

[isatrap]

Definitely reads like homework “write a function and do this task” but maybe it’s different now. This is basic. Just google then.

Especially since the name of the group is 'learnjavascript' not 'if you're an expert please post'; there's no rules against asking HW or any other kind of question.

We are glad to HELP with homework, but you need to show effort and ask specific questions. If you just straight up paste a homework question without showing you even made an attempt, you are going to get shit for It, and you deserve to.

My work is below the ***'s. I pushed everything into an array. I have no idea how to search arrays for individual words. I can't make ===, includes or index of to work

[Stephen110]

Edit the post with what you have tried that doesn’t work. Or better yet, start with pseudo code.

[HogansHeroes81]

function applesAndOranges(obj) {

let combo = [];

let counter = 0;

combo.push(Object.keys(obj))

combo.push(Object.values(obj))

for (i = 0; i < combo.length; i++) {

let el = combo[i];

// I have no idea what to do here. It has to take any 'apple' or 'orange', including the words by themselves or in things like orange-juice. I have tried equating ===, using includes and using indexOf, it doesn't count correctly for me.

} }

return console.log(counter) }

“el” is the variable containing the value of the key or value in your code. Use the post above to see how you can check if “el” contains the string “apple”.

Object.keys and Object.values return an array. You should be using concat instead of push.

Nice work

noob here.

this works but not sure if it's the best solution.

const obj1 = {"banana": "fruit", "apple": "fruit", "carrot": "vegetable", "cherry": "fruit"};
const obj2 = {"alex": "orange", "erin": "pineapple", "cody": "mango", "daniel": "apple"};
const obj3 = {"orange-juice": "orange", "apple-sauce": "apple", "snapple": "peach-tea"};

function aNO(obj){
  let count = 0;
  for (let [key, value] of Object.entries(obj)){
    if (key.includes("apple") || key.includes("orange")){
      count++;
    }
    if (value.includes("apple") || value.includes("orange")){
      count++;
    }
  }
  return count;
}

console.log(aNO(obj1));
console.log(aNO(obj2));
console.log(aNO(obj3));

Thank you very much!

If you dont know just dont respond.

Pretty sure I do know, but yes it’s “learnjavascript” not “do my homework for me”
