Build a Recipe Tracker - Step 7

Tell us what’s happening:

I can’t get all three recipes to output separately to the console. The same ratings (4.5) applies to all three. I can use some help identifying where the problem is.

Your code so far

const recipes = [];

const recipe1 = {
  name: 'Spaghetti Carbonara',
  ingredients: ['spaghetti', 'Parmesan cheese', 'pancetta', 'black pepper'],
  cookingTime: 22,
  totalIngredients: null,
  difficultyLevel: '',
  ratings: [4, 5, 4, 5],
  averageRating: null,
};

const recipe2 = {
  name: 'Chicken Curry',
  ingredients: ['chicken breast', 'coconut milk', 'curry powder', 'onion', 'garlic'],
  cookingTime: 42,
  totalIngredients: null,
  difficultyLevel: '',
  ratings: [4, 5, 5, 5],
  averageRating: null,
};

const recipe3 = {
  name: 'Vegetable Stir Fry',
  ingredients: ['broccoli', 'carrot', 'bell pepper'],
  cookingTime: 15,
  totalIngredients: null,
  difficultyLevel: '',
  ratings: [4, 3, 4, 5],
  averageRating: null,
};

recipes.push(recipe1, recipe2, recipe3);

function getAverageRating(averageRating) {
  recipe1.averageRating = (recipe1.ratings[0]+recipe1.ratings[1]+recipe1.ratings[2]+recipe1.ratings[3]) /4;
  return recipe1.averageRating;
  
  recipe2.averageRating = (recipe2.ratings[0]+recipe2.ratings[1]+recipe2.ratings[2]+recipe2.ratings[3]) /4;
  return recipe2.averageRating;
  
  recipe3.averageRating = (recipe3.ratings[0]+recipe3.ratings[1]+recipe3.ratings[2]+recipe3.ratings[3]) / 4;
  return recipe3.averageRating;
  
  }
  console.log(getAverageRating(recipe1.averageRating))
  console.log(getAverageRating(recipe2.averageRating))
  console.log(getAverageRating(recipe3.averageRating))

no code is executed after a return, you should not reference to global variables inside the function, the function needs to have a different output depending on the arguments given to it

@ILM Thank you. I’ve removed the return statements from the function and now I’m working on trying different methods of accessing the ratings.

you will need one return statement, as the requirement is to return the average rating
