56bbb991ad1ed5201cd392d3	Delete Properties from a JavaScript Object	1	17560	delete-properties-from-a-javascript-object

--description--

We can also delete properties from objects like this:

delete ourDog.bark;

Example:

const ourDog = {
  "name": "Camper",
  "legs": 4,
  "tails": 1,
  "friends": ["everything!"],
  "bark": "bow-wow"
};

delete ourDog.bark;

After the last line shown above, ourDog looks like:

{
  "name": "Camper",
  "legs": 4,
  "tails": 1,
  "friends": ["everything!"]
}

--instructions--

Delete the tails property from myDog. You may use either dot or bracket notation.

--hints--

You should delete the property tails from myDog.

assert(typeof myDog === 'object' && myDog.tails === undefined);

You should not modify the myDog setup.

assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/"tails": 1/g).length > 0);
