Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What patterns were you able to use from your Ruby knowledge to apply to JavaScript?	Knowledge of loops and classes
What was a challenge you were able to overcome on this assignment?	Using arrow functions as well as using loops in general. While it is similar, the syntax is different. I also struggled with not having a way to iterate through an object (while I know that I can using a for...in loop, that isn't approved by the ruby style guide). Instead, I iterated through the keys of the object and called what I needed from the values that way.
What is your favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	The learning curve... the more you know, the slower the learning curve is. Within a few days I can write some basic things in Javascript which took me such a long time to figure out in Ruby. It's also fun to look at what languages allow, don't allow, and how they express themselves and lend themselves to some things better than others. I feel like spoken languages can be the same way, so it's fun to see the different ways to use a new language and see how it is similar and different and how even the similarities come across differently.
What is your least favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	Red dots.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	If it would be possible without too much work on the part of the instructors, it would be fun to have a game similar to that which we designed in Ruby, but different. I heard one person suggest something like Yatzee. (This is fun too though!)
