      objectReturn.status = 'CLOSED';
      objectReturn.change = cid.reverse(); // add .reverse again

I still don't understand how to solve it but at least now I have something plain and understandable to read and try to figure it out :)

Don't give up 💪
In the end, what I learned most completing this project is to carefully read the problem and try to break it into smaller tasks that you can start working on separately. Hopefully, you will get it soon!😊

while(difference.toFixed(2)>=arrCurrency[i][1] && bill>=1){
        difference -= arrCurrency[i][1];
        returnMoney += arrCurrency[i][1];
        bill--;

i have a question with this code, what if difference = 6, while we have one 0.25 and six 1left, when the code run for 0.25, (difference.toFixed(2)>=arrCurrency[i][1] && bill>=1)=true, so we will add 0.25to return money, but after that, we cannot make 0.35 out of 6*0.1,

Just amazing, awesome storytelling!

When i redo these steps, the last test fails, 'CLOSED' doesn't resolve.

for the 'CLOSED' case, i figured after doing a console.log(), that the change array was being provided in the wrong order, so I just appended .reverse to the case, and it worked.
