Cash Register final answer

Hi
I developed my program and got it working in VSC and pasted it into FCC.
It runs and returns all the required but did not pass.
How do I find out what I am missing ?
Thanks

I’ve edited your post 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 (’).

what does your function return?

Hi
Below is the output from running the code.
It looks like it has all the required to me ?

I get the same result in my VSC.

Thanks

     [ 'TWENTY', 0 ],
     [ 'ONE HUNDRED', 0 ] ] }
{ status: 'OPEN', change: [ [ 'QUARTER', 0.5 ] ] }

Looking again I have 8 returns for 6 tests.
All correct but maybe duplicate results for 2 of the tests throwing a reject for code ?

I think that what @ilenia was trying to point out to you is that if you run this console.log at the end of your code you are getting undefined.

console.log(checkCashRegister(19.5, 20, [["PENNY", 1.01], ["NICKEL", 2.05], ["DIME", 3.1], ["QUARTER", 4.25], ["ONE", 90], ["FIVE", 55], ["TEN", 20], ["TWENTY", 60], ["ONE HUNDRED", 100]])) 

what happens if you remove all console.logs from inside the function and print the output of the function call?

the console.logs inside the function are good for debugging but don’t let htem trip you up

I reran in 5 of 9 reply without console log.
Maybe some still left.
I will prune again.
I was looking up some stuff about undefined (i.e. say vs declared ) and will also look for print methods.
Unclear about print vs console log so will review that also.
Maybe just placement of returns.
Thanks again.

Got it !!
Thanks a million.

I initialized the "result " variable to be scoped globally.
Prior only function scoped.
Believe this solved it because undefined was gone and it was accepted.

Please don’t do this. This makes extremely fragile code. You do not need a global variable for this challenge.
