// Add your code below this line
var a=watchList.filter((i)=>i["Director"]=="Christopher Nolan");
var averageRating=a.reduce((ac,cv)=>((ac+parseFloat(cv.imdbRating))/(a.length),0));
// Add your code above this line
console.log(averageRating);
Add up the ratings then divide by the number of films once you have the result else you’ll get floating point errors.

Javascript is notorious for have floating point imprecision/inaccuracy
still its not working
Can you post your updated code? It would help us see.
var a=watchList.filter((i)=>i["Director"]=="Christopher Nolan");
var b=a.reduce((ac,cv)=>(ac+parseFloat(cv.imdbRating)));
var averageRating=b/a.length;
console.log(averageRating);
Okay. Looking at it more closely, the problem I find is that the reduce method is not going to function correctly. The reason is because the ac is not what you think. Remember that a is an array of objects. So what is ac going to be? It’s not going to be a number.
It would be best to slim down a even further and cut out what you don’t need from each element of a.
Or do what @camperextraordinaire says. His solution is like 2-3 additional chars.
I tried first by giving initial value to 0 , but then also it didn’t worked
You did it before, but with all the inaccuracies of 4 instances of dividing, it may have given you an close, but inaccurate answer. Try it again with the latest code you have.
var a=watchList.filter((i)=>i["Director"]=="Christopher Nolan");
var b=a.reduce((ac,cv)=>(ac+parseFloat(cv.imdbRating),0));
var averageRating=b/a.length;
console.log(averageRating);
Thanks very much , It worked now
