Why is my argument not being recognized when I use it inside the function

Question

const notes = require('./getNotes')
// gets notes in Object format


// function to create new note
const createNote = ( noteTitle, message, notes) => {
  notes.noteTitle = message
  return notes
}


module.exports = createNote

I am having trouble understanding the reason that this code is not letting my pass in my own argument for the noteTitle. It is very frustrating. Could someone provide a basic explanation of why things are going wrong and what an alternative method might work well and why that method works in comparison to this one. Thanks

Answer 1

scopes, the function body will replace the outside notes with the parameter, either give the notes constant a new name or the function parameter a new name
