Cash Register (JS Algorithms and Data Structures Projects)

[ginalinetti]

Hi,
So I’ve written out a rough outline for my program and divided it into different functions.

1. I needed some guidance as to how to proceed with deducting the change from the array of cash in register (cid) which is under the getChange() function.

2. Also, if anybody can figure out what I’m doing wrong in my getDenom() function where I’m trying to retrieve an object array which will display number of bills/coins that exist for each currency unit .

3. Also, I’d like to know if my usage of Objects.values(object_array) is correct?

Any other suggestions for improving my code or any tweaks to my logic would be appreciated.
Thanks.

My code so far

function checkCashRegister(price, cash, cid) {
var curr_units={
  "PENNY": 0.01,
  "NICKEL": 0.05,
  "DIME": 0.1,
  "QUARTER": 0.25,
  "ONE": 1,
  "FIVE": 5,
  "TEN": 10,
  "TWENTY": 20,
  "ONE HUNDRED": 100};

var change=cash-price;

  console.log("Cash-in Drawer: "+cid);
  console.log("Currency Units (Values): "+Object.values(curr_units));

  var new_cid=[];
  for(var i=0; i<cid.length; i++){
    new_cid.push(cid[i][1]);
  }
  console.log("Cash-in Drawer (Values):"+ new_cid);

//Register Total
  var registerTotal=function(){
    return new_cid.reduce((x1,x2)=>(x1+x2));
  }
  console.log("Register Total: "+registerTotal());

//denominations (key value pairs) (cid/curr_units) (along with keys names ()PENNY,DIME etc)
var denom=[];
var getDenom=function(new_cid,curr_units){
return Object.values(curr_units).map((x)=>(new_cid[x]/x));
}
console.log(getDenom());
//deduct change from register here
var getChange=function(change,cid,denom){
  var change_due=change;
  while(change_due!==0){
  for(var i=denom.length; i>0; i--){
    change_due=change-denom[i];
  }}
  return change_due;
}
  //Final Status
    var status = function(price, getChange){
    if(change>registerTotal() || !getChange().includes(new_cid)){
      return "{status: \"INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS\", change: []}";
    }else if(getChange<=registerTotal()){


      return "{status: \"CLOSED\", change: ["+cid+"]}";
    }else{
    return "{status: \"OPEN\", change: ["+getChange()+"]}";
    }
  }
}

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]]));
