Please help

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(ratings) {
  const total = ratings[0] + ratings[1] + ratings[2] + ratings[3];
  return total / ratings.length;
}


// User Editable Region

const getTotalIngredients  = (ingredients)=>{

const total = ingredients + ingredients + ingredients + ingredients;
return total.length;

}

console.log(getTotalIngredients(recipe1.ingredients))
