    My chargeFines solution took a more long term view of fines. I used a setInterval to automatically charge Patrons

    const dateDiff = new Date(now - patron.currentBook.dueDate); is producing a date in 1970

    Code is wrong. If you make the due date to say -32 days, the fines get smaller. We shouldn 't have used getDate()

    I run this code and keep getting 1.5 as dailyFine. Not 1.4 as shown in explanation and as should be for 14 days.
