Nawal, this is the only function I'm not wholly comfortable with. Whilst it works OK and passes the test, it's heavily dependent on being passed an object that only contains Fords, Land Rovers, Toyotas, or Hondas. If it were to be passed a different brand e.g. BMW, or GMC, it would add the sales of those brands up.

It's quite an important feature of coding that you avoid hard coding values as far as possible, as it makes maintenance much harder were the function to be used with different values in the future.

Here's a different version of the function that works regardless of the brands contained in the object passed into it. Have a look through it and see whether you understand how it works. I'd be more than happy to talk you through any parts you're not clear on tomorrow.

function sales( cars ){
  let carSales = {};

  cars.forEach(car => {

    if(carSales.hasOwnProperty(car.make)) {
      carSales[car.make] += car.price;
    } else {
      carSales[car.make] = car.price;
    }
  })

  return carSales;
}
// for example
// {
// make: 'Ford',
// model: 'Fiesta',
