I have the following listing application that allows the user to make selections to build a skateboard. How can I add the values to the arrays which are declared? I do not understand how each value will be displayed when a particular option is selected.

Also... I want to add a button to that displays a message showing the total and tax when the user has selected all of their options... I am not sure where to add that code....

here is what i have so far.... ignore the comments they are from a similar listing exercise which I have edited, and just not deleted yet
