A problem with the output of a function in JavaScript

Question

i'm a beginner in JavaScript and I've just learned about functions and arrays and I've a problem with the code below : First i had defined the next array:

let WorkerS = {
    Php : "Alexander",
    Python : "Vadim",
    Html : "Vladimir",
    JS : "Fyodor",
};

Then i defined this simple function:

    const Element = (Language) => {
    return WorkerS.Language
};

And when i call:

console.log(Element(Php));

it gives me an error:

ReferenceError: Php is not defined

, please help me to know where the error is:

You also want to provide a string to your function, like `Element('Php')`. — Kobe, Jun 24 '19 at 14:02

Change your function to:

const Element = (Language) => {
  return WorkerS[Language];
};

and then change your call to

console.log(Element('Php')); //as you can see Php is a string

is there a way to input directly : console.log(Element(Php)) and turn "Php" into a string from the inside of the function ? – Mohammed Touati Jun 24 '19 at 14:17
no, if you'll use only Php then it has to be a declared variable before the Element(Php) call – arpitansu Jun 24 '19 at 14:20
