Bummer: Your code took too long to run

I've entered the following code for one of the nested object challenges in JavaScript but it keeps showing the "your code took too long to run" error. It's not causing a loop and the code looks right to me. I've also removed the key/value pairs and it throws a different error so it's working up to a point. Any suggestions?

const objects = [ { car: "ford", car: "ferrari" }, { tool: "hammer", tool: "saw" } ];

Hi Jon,

I’m not sure what particular challenge this is for, but a single object shouldn’t have a duplicate key. So if car is a key, then within the same object you can’t have another car property because then when you call objects[0][‘car’] how would JavaScript know which value to give back to you. It could send back ‘ford’ or ‘ferrari’.

Same thing with the tool key in the second object.

Try correcting that and see if that helps you pass your challenge.

Hi Brandon,

Of course, silly me! Thanks for pointing this out.
