Self Evaluation

When is it useful to use a conditional in your code?

Any time we would need the code to make a decision we will want to ask it a conditional. We can make the code pursue different actions based the quality of data compared in a conditional statement.

 followers = 1000
 def account_verification
    if followers >= 750
        p "you are verified"
    else
        p "you are not verified"
    end
end

In the above example I made a simple method to be able to print out different messages based on the amount of followers there are.

If you could do this assignment over, what would you do differently?

I would want to focus more on honing my workflow to be quicker. I can practice keyboard shortcuts and I can try to condense my responses to only include what is strickly necessary in the future.
My fizzbuzz could probably be more optimized.
My early commit messages where lacking an reference to the specific files being worked on, in the future I will make it a goal to include that in my messages when appropriate.

What about your thinking, learning, or work today brought you the most satisfaction? Why?

I enjoyed doing the "FizzBuzz " challenge from the README section. It was an engaging excercise that I was able to learn more about how Ruby functions and about logical method strutures as well.
