Hey everyone!
So I’m pretty new to coding. I started about less than a month ago, so I hope my question isn’t too noobish for all the pros out there.
I’ve been working on this meal maker project for a bit and came across an error that says my menu.getRandomDishFromCourse() is not defined when I call my menu.generateRandomMeal() method. I’ve gone through and checked spelling and made sure anything referenced within those methods is logging to the console properly.
Here’s the link to the project:
https://www.codecademy.com/paths/full-stack-engineer-career-path/tracks/fscp-javascript-syntax-part-ii/modules/fecp-learn-javascript-syntax-objects/projects/meal-maker
Here’s my code:
menu = {
courses: {
appetizers: [],
mains: [],
desserts: [],
},
addDishToCourse(courseName,dishName,dishPrice) {
let dish = {
name: dishName,
price: dishPrice
};
this.courses[courseName].push(dish);
},
getRandomDishFromCourse(courseName) {
let dishes = this.courses[courseName];
let randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random()*dishes.length);
return dishes[randomIndex];
},
generateRandomMeal() {
let appetizer = getRandomDishFromCourse("appetizers");
let main = getRandomDishFromCourse("mains");
let dessert = getRandomDishFromCourse("desserts");
let totalCost = appetizer.cost + main.cost + dessert.cost;
return `Your random three-course meal is: ${appetizer.name} as your appetizer, ${main.name} as your main dish, and ${dessert.name} as your dessert with a total cost of \$${Math.round(totalCost*100)/100}` ;
}
};
menu.addDishToCourse("appetizers","pizza rolls",3.75);
menu.addDishToCourse("mains","chicken-fried steak",8.95);
menu.addDishToCourse("desserts","chocolate lava cake",5.39);
menu.addDishToCourse("appetizers","pot stickers",2.99);
menu.addDishToCourse("mains","fillet mignon",11.91);
menu.addDishToCourse("desserts","strawberry cheescake",6.25);
console.log(menu.generateRandomMeal());
Just a note: I got rid of the getters and setters that are part of the steps in this project to shorten the code and make it a bit easier to read. I was getting this same error before and after I deleted the getters and setters.
Here’s the error code:
/home/ccuser/workspace/learn-javascript-objects-meal-maker/app.js:21
let appetizer = getRandomDishFromCourse("appetizers");
^

I very much appreciate the time you take to help me. Thank you!
