# --description--

To test that everything is working correctly, try to comment out the `age` key from the first dictionary in `medical_records`.

You should see a validation message appear in the terminal.

# --hints--

You should comment out the line `'age': 34,` in your code.

```js
({ test: () => assert.match(code, /#\s*'age'\s*:\s*34\s*,/)})
```

# --seed--

## --seed-contents--
