}

im struggling to get the solution, here are the instructions below:
//Write a function called required stock that gets all the items that need to be sent out to delivery.
//You need to return data in the correct format. Just include the names and quantities of the items.
//Eg: if one customer paid for 2 hamsters and another customer paid for one hamster and a bag of sawdust
//then your function should return the following data structure but obvously with all names and matching quantitites(added up):
// [
// {"name":"hamster", "quantity": 3},
// {"name": "bag of sawdust", "quantity" 1}
// ]
here is my code below that i have struggled with for about 6 hours already, i can get paid for items and delete the price property but i dont know how to return output in just an array of objects as required in the instructions and i also dont know how to add up all the quantities with matching names:
function requiredStock(customers) {
var allPaidItems = []
for(let customer of customers) {
if(customer.status === "PAID") {
var items = customer.items
items.forEach(i => delete i.price)
allPaidItems.push(items)
}
}
return allPaidItems
}
console.log(requiredStock(customers))
Please help
