title: Modify an Array Stored in an Object
---
## Modify an Array Stored in an Object
### Method:
- The function can be written in just two lines of code.
- The first line should just use the `push()` function to add the `friend`parameter to the array found in `user.data.friend`. The second line will return the modified array.
- Remember that `user` mustb be referenced with the first parameter given to the `addFriend()` function.
### Solution:
```javascript
let user = {
name: 'Kenneth',
age: 28,
data: {
username: 'kennethCodesAllDay',
joinDate: 'March 26, 2016',
organization: 'freeCodeCamp',
friends: [
'Sam',
'Kira',
'Tomo'
],
location: {
city: 'San Francisco',
state: 'CA',
country: 'USA'
}
}
};
function addFriend(userObj, friend) {
// change code below this line
userObj.data.friends.push(friend);
return userObj.data.friends;
// change code above this line
}
console.log(addFriend(user, 'Pete'));
```
