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?	the one I used most heavily was conditionals they work exactly the same just different syntax. Another Ruby thing I tapped into was the concept of self methods for classes. I was able to use this to call other methods in the class.
What was a challenge you faced in this assignment?	The biggest challenge I continue to have and I am not surprised that it came up in this project is working through complex functions such as highestscorefrom. I am sure it could use some refactoring but, I spent the most time on that function and debugging tools to understand what was happening in different parts of the function.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	No I love that are first project was something we already solved in Ruby which made the logic and functions easier to write even without looking at the Ruby project. It allowed me to focus more on syntax.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	Good
Comprehension questions	Yes
General
score calculates score, has appropriate params and return value	Yes
highestScoreFrom calculates highest scoring word, has appropriate params and return value	Yes
Player object
Has name and plays properties	Yes
Has play, totalScore, hasWon functions	Yes
Has highestScoringWord and highestWordScore functions	Yes - nice job using the functions you've previously created
Overall	You did a nice job hitting the major learning goals and exploring the JS syntax in this assignment. You did a nice job with using semi-colons, there were only a few places that I noticed where they are missing.

These conditionals are structured like you want them to be nested in the else ifs, but they're all independent conditions. Recommend switching to else if

I like the way you're storing the scores in an object so you don't need to recalculate the scores each time
