Question

basically I have created an object with a method which adds several attributes in the object together. But when I try and call the method to the console log it fires out the code (which is a if statement) to me instead of the value which I was hoping it would return, so I am confused!
Why is this happening ?
Code Below:

var Granite = function(ty, gr, th, wi, le, ed, ad){
    this.type = ty;
    this.group = gr;
    this.thickness = th;
    this.width = wi;
    this.length = le;
    this.edgeProfile = ed;
    this.addOns = ad;
    this.groupPrice = function(){
        if (thickness === 20){
            switch(group)
            {
            case 1:
              return 160;
              break;
            case 2:
              return 194;
              break;
            case 3:
              return 244;
              break;
            case 4:
              return 288;
              break;
            case 5:
              return 336;
              break;
            case 6:
              return 380;
              break;
            default:
              return 380;
            }
        }else{
            switch(group)
            {
            case 1:
              return 200;
              break;
            case 2:
              return 242;
              break;
            case 3:
              return 305;
              break;
            case 4:
              return 360;
              break;
            case 5:
              return 420;
              break;
            case 6:
              return 475;
              break;
            default:
              return 475;
            }
        }   
    }
    this.price = function(){
        if(length <= 2000 && length > 1000){
            return ((edgeProfile + groupPrice)*2) - addOns;
        }else if(length <= 3000 && length > 2000){
            return ((edgeProfile + groupPrice)*3) - addOns;         
        }else if(length <= 4000 && length > 3000){
            return ((edgeProfile + groupPrice)*4) - addOns;         
        }else if(length <= 5000 && length > 4000){
            return ((edgeProfile + groupPrice)*5) - addOns;         
        }
    }
}

var granite1 = new Granite("Rosa Porrino", 1, 30, 400, 3200, 30.05, 86.18);

console.log(granite1.groupPrice);

It returns the full if statement within the groupPrice method to me

Answer 1

You are not calling the method but providing reference of function to console,log(). In JavaScript you need use ‘()’ to call a function.

this will surely work console.log(granite1.groupPrice());

In side this.price

use this.groupPrice(). instead of groupPrice

Modified this,price Method

 this.price = function(){
        if(length <= 2000 && length > 1000){
            return ((this.edgeProfile + this.groupPrice())*2) - addOns;
        }else if(length <= 3000 && length > 2000){
            return ((this.edgeProfile + this.groupPrice())*3) - addOns;         
        }else if(length <= 4000 && length > 3000){
            return ((this.edgeProfile + this.groupPrice())*4) - addOns;         
        }else if(length <= 5000 && length > 4000){
            return ((this.edgeProfile + this.groupPrice())*5) - addOns;         
        }
    }
