Console-Finances
Description
A Javascript console application that will produce output from the contents of two arrays. The challenge for week 4 of the bootcamp.
This application aims to emulate a real world application that receives input in the format of a 2-dimensional array and produces output that is meaningful to the end user (e.g. numerical data and information)
I engaged with this project as it was an opportunity to identify ways to mathematically manipulate array data and present them in a functional way for the end user.
While building this application, I have learnt about two-dimensional arrays and how to call on information from them, how javascript processes mathematical functions, and how to troubleshoot when the application does not behave as expected, by changing elements to identify which part of the application is responsible for the unpredictable output.

Usage
When you open the deployed application here, a blank page will appear that prompts you to look in the console window:
Right click on the page and click "inspect". Alternatively, press F12 on your keyboard.
On the right hand side, you will see a new window. Find the tab that writes "console" at the top, and click on it.
You can see the output of the application on the console window on your right, under the console tab.
