I am trying to get my nested loops to perform a check in / check out simulation. I have my functions set up and my loop at the end but it somehow always gives me the same output. Every patron has the same amount of books and a humongous fine instead of being totally randomized like the checkOut and isOverdue functions make them.
How do I make it so that the loops uses the randomly generated date from the functions and give each patron different amounts of fines and books checked out? Instructions for the project.
My 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;
};
function randInRange(start, end) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (end - start + 1)) + start;
}
Book.prototype.checkOut = function() {
this.Available = false;
var dateChk = new Date();
var randDay = randInRange(1, 25);
dateChk.setDate(dateChk.getDate() - randDay);
this.checkoutDate = dateChk;
};
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();
if (Math.round(difference / singleDay) >= 14) {
return true;
}
return false;
};
Patron.prototype.read = function(book) {
this.booksOut.add(book);
}
Patron.prototype.return = function(book) {
this.booksOut.remove(this.booksOut.length);
}

//while loop or for loop for 90 days
