Tell us what’s happening:
All tests pass but one. If I print to the screen, the object is EXACTLY as the one that should be returned. But if I try to return it, the system says it fails.
I know that this usually means that a comma is missing somewhere, or there’s an extra space somewhere where it shouldn’t be, etc.
But I’ve re-read it carefully many times and can’t see anything wrong with it at all.
It’s the last thing stopping me from obtaining the certificate!!! I’ve spent a large part of the last two days getting the rest of the code right…
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Here’s what I see on the screen:
Your code so far
function checkCashRegister(price, cash, cid) {
// Obtaining the amount that is currently in the register.
let totalInDrawer = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < cid.length; i++) {
totalInDrawer += cid[i][1];
}
// Calculating the required change
let changeToBeGiven = cash - price;
// Creating a copy
let cTBG = changeToBeGiven;
// Reversing the cid for ease of checking sufficient number of bills or coins in the drawer during the calculation of change
let cashier = [];
for (let i = cid.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
cashier.push(cid[i][1]);
}
// Calculating the amount of change to return
const coinsAndBills = [100.00, 20.00, 10.00, 5.00, 1.00, 0.25, 0.1, 0.05, 0.01]
const currencyUnits = [["ONE HUNDRED"], ["TWENTY"], ["TEN"], ["FIVE"], ["ONE"], ["QUARTER"], ["DIME"], ["NICKLE"], ["PENNY"]];
let count = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < coinsAndBills.length; i++) {
while (changeToBeGiven >= coinsAndBills[i] && cashier[i] > 0) {
changeToBeGiven -= coinsAndBills[i];
count++;
cashier[i] -= coinsAndBills[i];
changeToBeGiven = changeToBeGiven.toFixed(2);
if (changeToBeGiven < coinsAndBills[i] || cashier[i] == 0) {
currencyUnits[i].push((coinsAndBills[i] * count));
count = 0;
} else {
continue;
}
}
}
// Extracting only those currency units that are required for the change
let changeToReturn = [];
let u = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < currencyUnits.length; i++) {
if (currencyUnits[i].length > 1) {
changeToReturn.push(currencyUnits[i]);
u += currencyUnits[i][1];
}
}
// Required Object that shows all currency units in case of closed till
let changeToReturnForClosedTill = [...currencyUnits];
for (let i = (currencyUnits.length - 1); i >= 0; i--) {
if (changeToReturnForClosedTill[i].length == 1)
changeToReturnForClosedTill[i].push(0);
}
let cTRFCT = [];
for (let i = (changeToReturnForClosedTill.length - 1); i >= 0; i--) {
cTRFCT.push(changeToReturnForClosedTill[i]);
}
// Creating the object to return and sorting which will be returned based on how much is left in the drawer
let changeEqualToMoneyInDrawer = {status: "CLOSED", change: cTRFCT};
let moneyInDrawerExceedsChange = {status: "OPEN", change: changeToReturn};
let changeGreaterThanMoneyInDrawer = {status: "INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS", change: []};
if (cTBG == totalInDrawer && cTBG == u) {
return changeEqualToMoneyInDrawer;
} else if (cTBG == u && totalInDrawer > cTBG) {
return moneyInDrawerExceedsChange;
} else if (cTBG < u) {
return moneyInDrawerExceedsChange;
} else if (cTBG > u) {
return changeGreaterThanMoneyInDrawer;
}
}
