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?	Loops, instance methods, arrays, conditionals, classes... This is said with the assumption that I'm looking for a similar pattern in both languages. I absolutely can see the benefit to having learned one and being able to pick up another one fairly quickly as far as logic goes. Sytnax... Well that is a different story that takes time but that's what practice is for.
What was a challenge you were able to overcome on this assignment?	Syntax differences. I wouldn't say overcome, but a solid work in progress and leaning towards recognizing issues faster. All the curly braces!
What is your favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	That it's new and challenging. Oh and that it potentially can do some different things.
What is your least favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	I dunno, I can say I probably would have enjoyed Javascript first... I could claim syntax but it's also an interesting thing to learn. Oh, and the linter, holy mother of all the things I had to 'mute'.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	It was fine though repetitive (granted I can see the bonus to re-doing a project in two languages).

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	more granular commits would be better, good commit messages
Comprehension questions	The more you write with the linter the easier it will get. You'll write better code too!
General
score calculates score, has appropriate params and return value	Check
highestScoreFrom calculates highest scoring word, has appropriate params and return value	Check
Player object
Has name and plays properties	Check
Has play, totalScore, hasWon functions	Check
Has highestScoringWord and highestWordScore functions	Doh! Your function only looks at the 1st two words.
Overall	Word of advice, when you finish a project for now turn on the linter and fix the complaints it has. It will make your code cleaner and you'll learn some good practices. Otherwise this is really well done. Your highestScoringWord function only looks at the 1st two words! Otherwise it looks ok.

You can also write this like:

score() {

This works well, using forEach is preferred however.

This only seems to work with an array of 2 words?
