rendering 2 sets of 5 stars

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import Star from './Star';

const StarRating = () => {

    const renderStars = () => {
        let stars = [];
        const maxRating = 5;
        for ( let i = 0 ; i < maxRating ; i++) {
            stars.push (
            <Star
            key={i}
            />
            );
        }
        return stars;
    }



    return (
        <ul className='course--stars'>
            { renderStars()}
        </ul>
    );
}

export default StarRating;

why is it rendering two sets of 5 stars?

Was there any changes made to the Course.js file? Just want to make sure there's not two StarRating components written in it's return statement. The code you provided does seem to look just like Laura's solution in Video 2.
