9,426 PointsCan someone please help me understand what I should be doing?
Instructions: Return an collection array of house objects whose public properties roof_color OR wall_color match the passed color parameter.
Note: The local houses array contains an array of House objects, each of which has a public property for "roof_color" and "wall_color".
I've tried many different ways to do this and I just don't get what I'm doing wrong.
<?php
// add code below this comment
class Subdivision
{
public $houses;
public function filterHouseColor($color)
{
}
}
?>

Courses Plus Student 340 PointsHey,
Try the below:
<?php
class Subdivision {
public $houses;
public function filterHouseColor($color) {
// Use array_filter to filter the $houses array to only those whose roof_color
// or wall_color properties matches the passed $color argument.
//
// Make sure to add the `use ($color)` bit to access the $color argument.
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2408908/is-it-possible-to-access-outer-local-variable-in-php
$filteredHouses = array_filter($this->houses, function($house) use ($color) {
return $house->roof_color === $color || $house->wall_color === $color;
});
return $filteredHouses;
}
}
?>
Good luck with your coding journey!

9,426 PointsThat worked wow thank you! I wish I knew what they were trying to make me do but I'm going to learn how the code that you used makes sense.
