Too Many Global Variables </h3> <p>I declared like 10+ variables at the top for DOM elements...</p> <h3> 2. Repetitive Code </h3> <p>My <code>displayOrder()</code> function literally copies the same logic <br> three times for pizza, hamburger, and beer.</p> <h3> 3. Hard-coded Everything </h3> <p>Item IDs are 0, 1, 2 everywhere in the code. If I add a new <br> item, I'd have to change code in multiple places.</p> <h2> Questions for the Community </h2> <ul> <li>How would you refactor this?</li> <li>What patterns should I learn for this type of app?</li> <li>Any resources you'd recommend?</li> </ul> <p>I'm eager to learn!
