What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I was able to manage this decently. I was proud of that. I will learn how to write code in a more dry way next time. This is practice

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

I encountered a problem where I could not pass 0 into an if statement and I had to remove the if. I just kept testing every function.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I need help, please check if my tipAmount function is okay. I had to remove the if function and do it differently as I could not pass 0 inside.

Also I do not know how to remove the default for inputs. Whenever enter is pressed the tip amount is 5%. Even when the custom amount is focused. I already used prevent default. How can I solve this

good job on the solution hexerse!,

this is feedback i found online for your solution:

  • Improved tipAmount Function Check:

if (!bill || !people) { return; } Why: Ensures that calculations only occur if both bill and people have valid values (non-zero). This prevents errors when one of them is 0.

  • Clearing Custom Input on Button Click:

button.addEventListener("click", (e) => { custom.value = ""; // Clear custom input when a button is clicked handleTip(e); });

Why: When a tip button is clicked, the custom input should be cleared to avoid conflicts and ensure only one tip value is active at a time.

-Handling Active Class for Tip Buttons:

buttons.forEach(button => button.classList.remove("active")); // Remove active class from all buttons e.target.classList.add("active"); // Add active class to the clicked button Why: Visual feedback is provided by adding an active class to the clicked button and removing it from others, making it clear which tip option is selected.

  • Custom Input Handling:

custom.addEventListener("input", (e) => { buttons.forEach(button => button.classList.remove("active")); // Remove active class from all buttons handleTip(e); handleSubmit(e); }); Why: When the user enters a custom tip, it should clear the active state of the tip buttons and update the tip amount immediately.

  • Formatted Output:

calcTip.innerHTML = $ ${tipperPerson.toFixed(2)}; totalPerson.innerHTML = $ ${billperPerson.toFixed(2)}; Why: Ensure the calculated amounts are displayed with two decimal places for better readability and accuracy.

  • Prevent Default Form Submission:

form.addEventListener("submit", handleSubmit); Why: Ensures that the form does not submit in the traditional way, allowing custom calculations to happen without refreshing the page.
