I am trying to run a simulation of a library check in/out system with prototypes, objects and nested loops. I am having trouble properly integrating the pseudo code into the loop itself and would appreciate any help.
//while loop or for loop for 90 days
//For loop over catalog
//forloop over patrons
//Check if available , if so check book out
//If not available check book back in
//check checking back in check to see if book is overdue and if so add a fine
//When down loop over patrons to see their fees
Loop
for (var i = 0; i < 90; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < catalog.length; j++) {
for (var k = 0; k < patrons.length; i++) {
var fine = patrons[k].fine;
if (catalog[k].Available) {
catalog[k].checkOut;
} else {
catalog[k].checkIn;
patrons[k].read;
}
if (catalog[k].isOverdue) {
fine = fine + 5.00;
}
}
}
patrons[i].fine = fine;
}
All the code
var Book = function(title, Available, publicationDate, checkoutDate, callNumber, Authors) {
this.title = title;
this.Available = Available;
this.publicationDate = publicationDate;
this.checkoutDate = checkoutDate;
this.callNumber = callNumber;
this.Authors = Authors;
};
var Author = function(firstName, lastName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;

var Patron = function(firstName, lastName, libCardNum, booksOut, fine) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.libCardNum = libCardNum;
this.booksOut = booksOut;
this.fine = fine;
};
Book.prototype.checkOut = function() {
this.Available = false;
var temp = new Date(1000000000);
var date = new Date() - temp;

Book.prototype.isOverdue = function() {
var singleDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
var todayDate = new Date().getTime();
var difference = todayDate - this.checkoutDate.getTime();
if (Math.round(difference / singleDay) >= 14) {
return true;
}
return false;

this.booksOut.add(book);

this.booksOut.remove(this.booksOut.length);

}
for (i = 0; i < patrons.length; i++) {
console.log(patrons[i].firstName + " has checked out the following books:");

}
I am trying to write a loop that simulates checkouts and checkins for a 3 month period. Every day I iterate over the catalog, and every person in the patrons array. If the patron currently has the book checked out then I check it in. If it is not checked out then I add it to the patrons list of books via the patrons read method. If the book is overdue then I add a fine of $5.00 to the patron returning it. At the end of the 3 month period, I have to display each patron, the books they have currently checked out and any fine they may have.
you have typo error in your loops (for var k ... i++). See the snippet
var Book = function(title, Available, publicationDate, checkoutDate, callNumber, Authors) {
this.title = title;
this.Available = Available;
this.publicationDate = publicationDate;
this.checkoutDate = checkoutDate;
this.callNumber = callNumber;
this.Authors = Authors;
};
var Author = function(firstName, lastName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
};
var Patron = function(firstName, lastName, libCardNum, booksOut, fine) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.libCardNum = libCardNum;
this.booksOut = booksOut;
this.fine = fine;
};
Book.prototype.checkOut = function() {
this.Available = false;
var temp = new Date(1000000000);
var date = new Date() - temp;
var res = new Date(date);
this.checkoutDate = res;
};
Book.prototype.checkIn = function() {
this.Available = true;
};
Book.prototype.isOverdue = function() {
var singleDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
var todayDate = new Date().getTime();
var difference = todayDate - this.checkoutDate.getTime();
