I have personally tested my code and it is working perfectly but it keeps failing the test and I don’t know what to do anymore.

Welcome to the forum 
I found the problem, you don’t have any code
Hey there,
Please update the message to include your code. The code was too long to be automatically inserted by the help button.
When you enter a code, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.
You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.
See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
yeah, how to delete a post cause i can’t figure out how to edit it. i’ll just give up at this point.
Please don’t give up. We will help. We just need to see your code. You should see a pencil icon on your original post. Click that to edit and add your code.
there’s no pencil icon on the post, i’ve tried to search for it. can’t i just write it here on the comments?
Yes you can just write it here in a new message 
Please include both JS and HTML
Yes, of course. Just refer to @ILM 's post on how to do that.
So, you don’t see this in your original post (link icon, pencil icon, ellipsis, and Reply)?

i apologise for the messy code, it’s cause i have been trying to make it pass the test so i messed it up in the process
I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.
You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.
See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
Thank you. What tests are you failing right now?
What editor are you using? I recommend VS Code. Currently, you have some curly double quotes and curly single quotes rather than straight double quotes and straight single quotes. And in a couple of your for loops it looks like you have an en-dash character rather than two hyphens where you’re decrementing. Please get that cleaned up first, then we can move on to any other issues.
This can happen when pasting into the forum without proper formatting.
Since I reformatted it they should be ok, did you copy it before I formatted it maybe?
Thanks. I didn’t know that. I did copy before your formatted it!
so it’s alternating depending on the cid values, so basically it fails from test 11 upwards. the tests that have the same cid as my code pass the other ones fail basically
Ah, then it must be your global variables. The tests will change the value of your cid and price globals. Other globals dependent on cid will not get updated, so the tests will fail you. Try moving all globals other than cid and price into your event listener and see how that works for you.
thank you so much. i just did that and it passed the test . i finally got my certification
