The error message reads: Oops, try again. There was a problem with your syntax.

Please help! I feel like it might be a VERY small little mistake, but I can't catch it.


var cashRegister = {
    total:0,
    //Dont forget to add your property
    lastTransactionAmount:0,

    add: function(itemCost) {
        this.total +=  itemCost;
    },
    scan: function(item,quantity) {
        switch (item) {
        case "eggs": this.add(0.98 * quantity); break;
        case "milk": this.add(1.23 * quantity); break;
        case "magazine": this.add(4.99 * quantity); break;
        case "chocolate": this.add(0.45 * quantity); break;
        }
        return true;
    },
    //Add the voidLastTransaction Method here
    voidLastTransaction: function() {
        this.total -= this.lastTransactionAmount;
    };
    
};

cashRegister.scan('eggs',1);
cashRegister.scan('milk',1);
cashRegister.scan('magazine',1);
cashRegister.scan('chocolate',4);

//Void the last transaction and then add 3 instead
cashRegister.voidLastTransaction();
cashRegister.scan('chocolate',3);



//Show the total bill
console.log('Your bill is '+cashRegister.total);

Hoped that helped

Thanks, that made a difference, but the error message says: "Oops, try again. false."

The hint says "each time add runs, change the value of lastTransactionAmount to equal the itemCost so that lastTransactionAmount always refers to the cost of the last transaction" so I also modified the add function a little:

add: function(itemCost) {
this.total += itemCost;
this.lastTransactionAmount = itemCost;
},

This worked for me. Hope it helps.

Oh! Thank you SO much! This makes the code seem a lot more logical. Thanks!
