Comprehension Questions

Feature	Feedback
What are the components that make up a method?	Signature, parameters, code block
What are the advantages of using git when collaboratively working on one code base?	You can work remotely and theoretically independently and eventually bring the project together. You can track changes from your partners and see how they made the changes.
What kind of relationship did you and your pair have with the unit tests?	It was an informative relationship. It was nice to be able to track progress as we were going through the waves.
Does your code use any methods from the Enumerable mixin? If so, where and why was it helpful?	Yes, we used map, max_by, min_by, and include? We used .map to create a new array of hashes that stored the words and score values for each word in the original array of words. We used max_by and min_by to find the highest scoring word (max_by) and shortest word within the top scoring words (min_by). We used .include? to check if the letters used in the inputted word were available from the given letters, to check if a given letter was worth a given score value, and to check if the inputted word was in the English dictionary.
What was one method you and your pair used to debug code?	We used the VS Code debugger to step through the code and watched a variable to see where the issue was.
What are two discussion points that you and your pair discussed when giving/receiving feedback from each other that you would be willing to share?	1. At the outset of the project, we discussed how we like to receive feedback and also how we process a problem to help facilitate communication throughout the project. 2. When giving feedback, seeing each other's workflows was helpful because we learned how each of us processes a problem. Now we can utilize each other's strengths going forward and incorporate those things we learned into our own individual work moving forward.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
General
Answered comprehension questions	Check, I'm glad you were deliberate in how you went about your collaboration
Both teammates contributed to the codebase	Check
Small commits with meaningful commit messages	Good number of commits, but focus on describing the functionality you added, not the day or waves completed. Messages like, score working.
Code Requirements
draw_letters method	Check
Uses appropriate data structure to store the letter distribution	Check
All tests for draw_letters pass	Check
uses_available_letters? method	Check
All tests for uses_available_letters? pass	Check
score_word method	Check
Uses appropriate data structure to store the letter scores	Check
All tests for score_word pass	Check
highest_score_from method	Check
Appropriately handles edge cases for tie-breaking logic	Yes, but your indentation is a bit messy.
All tests for highest_score_from pass	Check
Overall	Nice work, you even got started on the extras. You hit all the learning goals for the project. Well done. Please read my inline comments for small suggestions.

I'd suggest having a hash with letters and the amount of each letter and using that to generate the letter bag instead of this. Less typing.

[CheezItMan]

Very clever to use .clone that way you avoid destroying elements of letters_in_hand.

[CheezItMan]

Excellent data structure!

Your indentation is a bit of a mess here.

Hey Chris, thanks so much for your review & all your feedback -- it's much appreciated! Could you clarify this comment a little more? I'm looking through and trying to see where the indentation could be fixed so that I don't make this mistake again.
