## Description
< section id = 'description' >
Design a cash register drawer function < code > checkCashRegister()< / code > that accepts purchase price as the first argument (< code > price< / code > ), payment as the second argument (< code > cash< / code > ), and cash-in-drawer (< code > cid< / code > ) as the third argument.
< code > cid< / code > is a 2D array listing available currency.
The < code > checkCashRegister()< / code > function should always return an object with a < code > status< / code > key and a < code > change< / code > key.
Return < code > {status: "INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS", change: []}< / code > if cash-in-drawer is less than the change due, or if you cannot return the exact change.
Return < code > {status: "CLOSED", change: [...]}< / code > with cash-in-drawer as the value for the key < code > change< / code > if it is equal to the change due.
Otherwise, return < code > {status: "OPEN", change: [...]}< / code > , with the change due in coins and bills, sorted in highest to lowest order, as the value of the < code > change< / code > key.
Remember to use < a href = 'http://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/how-to-get-help-when-you-are-stuck/19514' target = '_blank' > Read-Search-Ask< / a > if you get stuck. Try to pair program. Write your own code.
