Is it possible to assign the values of the different service levels in the tip() function under the service variable as I've started to do below? I know the alternative and likely preferred solution is to assign these values to the option values but would like to know if it can be done with if statements too.






function tip() {

var tipp = document.getElementById("bill").value;
var split = document.getElementById("billsplit").value;
var service = document.getElementById("service").value; //good=.3,ok=.25,bad=.2
if service = "Good" {
document.getElementById = ("service").innerHTML = .3;
}


document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = (tipp * service) / split;

}

Enter Total Bill<br><br>
<input type="number" name="bill" id="bill">
<br><br> How was the Service <br><br>
<select id="service">
<option value="Good">Good</option>
<option value="Bad">Bad</option>
<option value="ok">ok</option>
</select>

<br><br> How many People are sharing Bill?<br><br>

<input type="number" name="billsplit" id="billsplit">

<button type="button" onclick="tip()">CALCULATE</button>

<br><br>Result : <span id="result"></span>

  • With innerHTML= on a select element you should only define option elements. Anything else is not valid HTML, even if it is just .3. Such text in a div or option is fine, just not directly in a select. What exactly is the problem?

You can use an object to map the value against the service grade. Note: you'll need to coerce your input values from strings to numbers before you do any calculation on them.






// cache all the needed elements
const billTotal = document.querySelector('#bill');
const splitValue = document.querySelector('#split');
const service = document.querySelector('#service');
const result = document.querySelector('#result');
const button = document.querySelector('button');

// use a event listener instead of an inline function
button.addEventListener('click', calculate, false);

// map the values to service terms
const serviceMap = {
good: 0.3,
ok: 0.25,
bad: 0.2
}

function calculate() {

// get the input values
const bill = Number(billTotal.value);
const split = Number(splitValue.value);

// get the selected service grade
const serviceGrade = service.options[service.selectedIndex].value;

// get the service value from the object using the grade as the key
const serviceValue = serviceMap[serviceGrade];

// perform the calculation
const total = ((bill * serviceValue) / split).toFixed(2);

// output the result with `textContent`
result.textContent = `Total ${total} ((${bill} * ${serviceValue}) / ${split})`;
}

input, button, div {
display: block;
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}

Bill <input id="bill" type="number" />
Split <input id="split" type="number" />
Service <select id="service">
<option value="good">Good</option>
<option value="ok">Bad</option>
<option value="bad">ok</option>
</select>
<button type="calculate">Calculate</button>
<div id="result"></div>

    You can use an associative array. Your tip() function could be like this.



    function tip() {
    let service_values = {
    "Good": 0.3,
    "ok": 0.25,
    "Bad": 0.2
    };

    var tipp = document.getElementById("bill").value;
    var split = document.getElementById("billsplit").value;
    var service_label = document.getElementById("service").value; //good=.3,ok=.25,bad=.2
    let service = service_values[service_label];


    document.getElementById("result").innerHTML= (tipp*service)/split;

    }


    EDIT: Check the code snippet below.






    <!DOCTYPE html>

    var tipp = document.getElementById("bill").value;
    var split = document.getElementById("billsplit").value;
    var service_label = document.getElementById("service").value; //good=.3,ok=.25,bad=.2
    let service = service_values[service_label];


    document.getElementById("result").innerHTML= (tipp*service)/split;

    • Something might be missing - the output when you try to CALCULATE is NaN. I get that you're trying to get the associated value of the inputted service level from the services value array with let service = service_values[service_label]; but is that just returning the actual string not the number?

    • In javascript its called an object literal and not an associative array (which is a PHP term for the monstrosity that is the do everything arrays in PHP).

            You can use an associative array. Your tip() function could be like this.



            function tip() {
            let service_values = {
            "Good": 0.3,
            "ok": 0.25,
            "Bad": 0.2
            };

            var tipp = document.getElementById("bill").value;
            var split = document.getElementById("billsplit").value;
            var service_label = document.getElementById("service").value; //good=.3,ok=.25,bad=.2
            let service = service_values[service_label];


            document.getElementById("result").innerHTML= (tipp*service)/split;

            }

            • Something might be missing - the output when you try to CALCULATE is NaN. I get that you're trying to get the associated value of the inputted service level from the services value array with let service = service_values[service_label]; but is that just returning the actual string not the number?
