I'm trying to do a mini checkout JavaScript exercise. The user adds 2 or more items together (checkbox
) options, the price of the items are totaled then returned. For some reason I can't add the values of the array objects together. Everything else in my code work just that 1 section. Can someone please help me? My code is below:
JavaScript
// This Array Object holds the items name and prices the user selects from
var shoppingItems = {
"Stainless Steel Cooking Pot": 29.99,
"Mini Stainless Steel Blender": 19.99,
"Kitchen Towel Set": 7.99,
"Large Tan Coffee Mug": 5.49,
"5 Round Dinner Plate Set": 5.99,
"Salt and Pepper Shaker Set": 1.99,
"Large Blue Broom": 3.98,
"Pink Soap Dish": 2.50,
"Silver Bathroom Trash Can": 6.99,
"Silk Black Bathroom Robe": 9.99,
};
var itemsSelectedValues = [];
// this is the empty array where the checkbox values will be added to
var total = 0;
// this is the variable that will hold the items total
function listOfCheckedItems(catalogToLookFrom) {
var yourItemsPurchased = $("input:checkbox:checked");
for (i = 0; i < yourItemsPurchased.length; i++) {
if(yourItemsPurchased[i].checked === true) {
itemsSelectedValues.push(yourItemsPurchased[i].value);
} // line closes if statement
} // line closes for loop
for (i = 0; i < itemsSelectedValues.length; i++) {
// line above is suppose to loop through the now full array that has the items value names stored
total = total + catalogToLookFrom[itemsSelectedValues];
// this line is suppose to set variable total to itself + the value of the item that's stored in array shoppingItems. It's suppose to do this each time through the loop. This is where the problem lies.
} // closes for loop
console.log(catalogToLookFrom[itemsSelectedValues]);
return total;
} // line closes listOfCheckedItems function
function getOrderTotal() {
listOfCheckedItems(shoppingItems);
}

You forgot the [i] in the loop
total = total + catalogToLookFrom[itemsSelectedValues[i]];
Here is a MUCH simplified version
$(function() { // when the page loads
$("input:checkbox").on("change", function() { // each time something changes
var total = 0;
$("input[type=checkbox]:checked").each(function() { // only checked boxes
total += shoppingItems[this.value]; // the prices are already numbers
})
$("#total").text(total.toFixed(2)); // 2 decimals
}).change(); // run at load time to calculate
})
// This Array Object holds the items name and prices the user selects from
var shoppingItems = {
