The goal of this coding challenge was to build a tip calculator using vanilla javaScript based on the criteria below. In addition to these requirements, I wanted a calculator that could round up the tip or the grand total to the nearest dollar. I also decided to save the rounding preferences and tip % to localStorage so the preferred settings would be saved for the next use. Last, I wanted to include a joke using an API as I thought this could be a fun way to end an evening out! Thank you for checking out my tip calculator!

The requirements for this application include the following:

• Take in the value of the bill
• Take in the desired tip percentage
• Include the option to split the bill/tip by the people at the table
• The application should then calculate the amount of tip per table (or per person if the split option is chosen) and return the value to the user.
• Code should be clean and readable. Don't neglect the comments!
• You must push your code in a git repository and submit git repository URL to the challenge email.
• Commit early, commit often; we will look at the progression of your code throughout application development. Consider your commits valuable.
• You shouldn't need any external libraries to complete this application... BUT if you do, you need to document it in your readme and let us know why it was a better choice.
• The bill value must be a positive float but your application must handle user input that might be a negative or 0 dollar amount (i.e. error handling).
• The user input percentage for the tip must be a positive float.
• The returned value must be a float rounded to two decimal points (i.e. accurate dollars and cents).
