Need help with APCSP coding (for and while loops)


It says that there are two codes that can be shortened into for/while loops. Please hurry, I have to pass it at 11:59 tonight (PST). I'll give brainliest if you answer.


Here's the code:


var monthName="January";

var month=1;

var day=1;

var year=2020;

var birthDate = "";


onEvent("input1","input",function() {

monthName = getText("input1");

month = convertToNumber(monthName.toLowerCase());

updateScreen();

});


onEvent("input2","input",function() {

day = getNumber("input2");

updateScreen();

});


onEvent("input3","input",function() {

year = getNumber("input3");

updateScreen();

});


onEvent("checkButton","click",function () {

var d = new Date();

var todayMonthNum = d.getMonth()+1;

var todayDay = d.getDay();

var todayYear = d.getFullYear();

if (todayMonthNum == month &&

todayDay == day &&

todayYear == year)

{

hideElement("input1");

hideElement("input2");

hideElement("input3");

playSound("EJGreenberg---birthday-birthday.mp3");

}

});


function updateScreen ()

{

birthDate =month + "/" + day + "/" + year;

setText("dateOutput",birthDate);

}


function convertToNumber (name)

{

var names=["january", "february", "march", "april",

"may", "june", "july", "august",

"september", "october", "november", "december"];

var foundIndex = -1;

if (names[0]==name) foundIndex = 0;

if (names[1]==name) foundIndex = 1;

if (names[2]==name) foundIndex = 2;

if (names[3]==name) foundIndex = 3;

if (names[4]==name) foundIndex = 4;

if (names[5]==name) foundIndex = 5;

if (names[6]==name) foundIndex = 6;

if (names[7]==name) foundIndex = 7;

if (names[8]==name) foundIndex = 8;

if (names[9]==name) foundIndex = 9;

if (names[10]==name) foundIndex = 10;

if (names[11]==name) foundIndex = 11;

if (foundIndex==-1) return "??";

else return foundIndex + 1;


}

Answer:

maybe 12 is the answer? im not sure dont take my word for it
