AdagramsWhat We're Looking For
Hey y'all! Great work on this project. Your code fulfills all of the requirements and does it in a readable and reasonable way. The code is clean, and it passes all the tests! I'm making a few comments on this assignment about some suggestions on how to refactor, but they are all optional ways of looking at this code again. Overall, you two have done a great job. Good work! By the way, nice job with adding the tests for the optional wave! |

Is there a way you could shorten this set of if/else conditionals with a postfix conditional or a ternary?
| it 'verifies that invalid word input returns false' do | ||
| input = "poopydiscoopscoopdiddywhoopwhoopdiscoopdipoop" | ||
|
|
||
| expect(is_in_english_dict?(input)).must_equal false |
| expect(is_in_english_dict?(input)).must_equal true | ||
| end | ||

| it 'verifies that first entry in the dictionary CSV file is read properly' do |

me being nitpicky: this test is not named accurately!
| temp_letters_in_hand.delete_at(temp_letters_in_hand.index(letter.upcase)) | ||
| letter_match_counter += 1 | ||
| end | ||
| end |

Clever way of realizing that counting all "successful matches" with letter_match_counter should be the same size as the input!
I'll leave this as a "vague thing" to think about... I think that while you iterate through input.chars, you can actually determine that uses_available_letters? can return false before the loop finishes.
Remember, when you use the return keyword, it will kick the program execution out of the method early, and return whatever value you give it.
| if word.include?(input) | ||
| verify = true | ||

Similar to a comment above but...
"Vague thing" to think about...While you iterate through dictionary, you can actually determine that is_in_english_dict? can return true before the loop finishes.

Comprehension Questions
Enumerablemixin? If so, where and why was it helpful?.include?method several times to confirm whether a given array of letters (e.g.uses_available_letters?andscore_word) contained a particular letter. Much easier than iterating over each element of the array!binding.pryseveral times to pause the program and test various variables at particular points in the file/loop/conditional/etc.
