How to Calculate Total Price from Multiple Range Sliders Using JavaScript and jQuery

If you've ever tried to calculate the total price from multiple range sliders but ended up with incorrect calculations, you're not alone! Many developers encounter issues when attempting to dynamically compute totals based on user input. In this guide, we'll explore a common problem related to range sliders and how to properly calculate the total price.

The Problem

Let's say you have three range sliders that represent different pricing options for a video service. The goal is to calculate the total price based on the user's input for each slider. However, you may find that each slider's change event is only calculating the price related to that slider instead of summing the total correctly.

Here’s the code snippet that leads to incorrect totals:

The Key Mistake

The main mistake is in the use of let to define result1, result2, and result3 inside the change event, which creates local variables instead of updating the global variables. Therefore, the calculation doesn't retain the previous values, resulting in receiving just one total instead of the cumulative total.

The Solution

To resolve this issue, we need to make a few changes to our code:

Use Global Variables: Ensure that result1, result2, and result3 are defined outside of the function scopes so that they're accessible and modifiable across different events.

Start Ranges at Zero: Initialize the range sliders to start from 0 for accurate price calculations.

Here’s the corrected code:

HTML Structure

Additionally, here is the essential HTML structure needed for our range sliders:

Summary

By following these steps, you can successfully calculate the total price from multiple range sliders using JavaScript and jQuery. The key takeaway here is to utilize global variables effectively to maintain the cumulative calculations, and make sure that the slider ranges start from zero to reflect true pricing options.

Now that you're equipped with this knowledge, you can apply these techniques in your projects for a seamless user experience! Happy coding!
