  "bravo": "Boston",
  "charlie": "Chicago",
  "delta": "Denver",
  "echo": "Easy",

Here you are replacing the function argument val with this object.

Which makes this line baffling for your computer. Look inside of the object val to find the value associated with the key val, but val is an object and cannot be a key…
