Whether and how to modify the price value (cash register project)

JavaScript
1

In this project, see link at the bottom of the post it appear the code, should work for any price value. However it is not clear if we should modify the price value in the program.
A value of the price variable value is already given. It is mentioned we can change this value for debugging purposes, but is for purpose of passing the test, is the program designed to work without changing this value or do I need to do something.

It appears clear to me looking at the example the way is not to add a second input element and random generating the price value also does not seem to be the way. Hopefully by these example you can tell what I want I mean by finding out how, I don’t need a specific command just an approach.

I know I have been somewhat repeating myself, but this is the way that come to mind to explain this and I am following the approach of better to say too much than too little. Look forward to any responses.

the tests will change the price value

the tests will act like if there is this code below your code

console.log("\nTest #9");
price = 11.95;
document.querySelector("#cash").value = 11.95;
document.querySelector("#purchase-btn").click();
console.log("actual", document.querySelector("#change-due").innerText);
console.log("expected", "No change due - customer paid with exact cash");

console.log("\nTest #11");
price = 19.5;
document.querySelector("#cash").value = 20;
cid = [["PENNY", 1.01], ["NICKEL", 2.05], ["DIME", 3.1], ["QUARTER", 4.25], ["ONE", 90], ["FIVE", 55], ["TEN", 20], ["TWENTY", 60], ["ONE HUNDRED", 100]];
document.querySelector("#purchase-btn").click();
console.log("actual", document.querySelector("#change-due").innerText);
console.log("expected", "Status: OPEN QUARTER: $0.5");

console.log("\nTest #12");
price = 3.26;
document.querySelector("#cash").value = 100;
cid = [["PENNY", 1.01], ["NICKEL", 2.05], ["DIME", 3.1], ["QUARTER", 4.25], ["ONE", 90], ["FIVE", 55], ["TEN", 20], ["TWENTY", 60], ["ONE HUNDRED", 100]];
document.querySelector("#purchase-btn").click();
console.log("actual", document.querySelector("#change-due").innerText);
console.log("expected", "Status: OPEN TWENTY: $60 TEN: $20 FIVE: $15 ONE: $1 QUARTER: $0.5 DIME: $0.2 PENNY: $0.04");

console.log("\nTest #14");
price = 19.5;
document.querySelector("#cash").value = 20;
cid = [["PENNY", 0.01], ["NICKEL", 0], ["DIME", 0], ["QUARTER", 0], ["ONE", 0], ["FIVE", 0], ["TEN", 0], ["TWENTY", 0], ["ONE HUNDRED", 0]];
document.querySelector("#purchase-btn").click();
console.log("actual", document.querySelector("#change-due").innerText);
console.log("expected", "Status: INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS");

console.log("\nTest #16");
price = 19.5;
document.querySelector("#cash").value = 20;
cid = [["PENNY", 0.01], ["NICKEL", 0], ["DIME", 0], ["QUARTER", 0], ["ONE", 1], ["FIVE", 0], ["TEN", 0], ["TWENTY", 0], ["ONE HUNDRED", 0]];
document.querySelector("#purchase-btn").click();
console.log("actual", document.querySelector("#change-due").innerText);
console.log("expected", "Status: INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS");

console.log("\nTest #18");
price = 19.5;
document.querySelector("#cash").value = 20;
cid = [["PENNY", 0.5], ["NICKEL", 0], ["DIME", 0], ["QUARTER", 0], ["ONE", 0], ["FIVE", 0], ["TEN", 0], ["TWENTY", 0], ["ONE HUNDRED", 0]];
document.querySelector("#purchase-btn").click();
console.log("actual", document.querySelector("#change-due").innerText);
console.log("expected", "Status: CLOSED PENNY: $0.5");

Maybe remove your provided code I am relatively early on writing this program, you are providing spoilers.

No, that is not a solution. That is the tests.

I am answering your question about the price, you will still need to write all the code of your app

Sorry for trying to not properly look at the code and also prepare for the worst. I should have realised you are too experienced, professional and rule abiding for that.
