Your code so far

const recipes = [];

const recipe1 = {

  difficultyLevel: '',
  ratings: [4, 5, 4, 5],

  cookingTime: 42,
  totalIngredients: null,
  difficultyLevel: '',

recipes.push(recipe1, recipe2, recipe3);

// User Editable Region

function getAverageRating(ratings) {
  total = 0
  for (let elem of recipes) {
    for (let item of elem.ratings) {
      total += item
    }
  }

Welcome to the forum @abhatia08

The code looks good. Just some minor tweaks.

  • declare total with keyword let - let total = 0
  • Note that the function has parameter “ratings”. So the for loop should run on “ratings” and not recipes.
  • That means we need only one loop. If you do a console.log(elem) you will be able to fix it.

Happy Coding!
