Build a Festival Crowd Flow Simulator - Step 11

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello, In my humble opinion the step 11 has a mistake, the function receives the parameter “gates” but gates is an array of objects, when I use the method indexOf directly on the array always will return -1.

I simulated this with a console.log(nightGates.indexOf(‘North’));

Your code so far

const morningGates = [
  { id: "North", capacity: 5, queue: [3, 6, 2, 4] },
  { id: "East", capacity: 3, queue: [2, 4, 3, 5] },
  { id: "South", capacity: 4, queue: [1, 2, 3, 1] },
  { id: "West", capacity: 2, queue: [4, 1, 2, 3] },
];

const nightGates = [
  { id: "North", capacity: 4, queue: [6, 2, 5, 1] },
  { id: "East", capacity: 2, queue: [3, 3, 4, 2] },
  { id: "South", capacity: 5, queue: [2, 1, 2, 3] },
  { id: "West", capacity: 3, queue: [5, 2, 1, 4] },
];


function initializeThroughput(gates) {
  const summary = {};
  for (const gate of gates) {
    summary[gate.id] = 0;
  };
  return summary;
}

function processGateFlow(gate, tickIndex) {
  let currentTickQueue = gate.queue[tickIndex];
  let processed = 0;
  while (currentTickQueue > 0 && processed < gate.capacity) {
    currentTickQueue--;
    processed++;
  }
  return {
    processed: processed,
    overflow: currentTickQueue
  };
}

function rerouteOverflow(gates, currentGate, tickIndex, overflowAmount) {

hello @Endzelisp welcome to the forum!

i suppose you have to search the index of currentGate from the gates array using indexOf, and since currentGate will be an entire gate object , it should work correctly.

For example - currentGate will be { id: "North", capacity: 4, queue: [6, 2, 5, 1] } in case of nightGates, not 'North’.
