Comprehension Questions

Feature	Feedback
What are the components that make up a method?	Methods start with the def keyword, followed by the method signature. Within the method is a chunk of code that ends with a return value. Finally the method is closed with an end keyword.
What are the advantages of using git when collaboratively working on one code base?	It allows two people to be working on different parts on a project at the same time.
What kind of relationship did you and your pair have with the unit tests?	They were overwhelming at first when we got a huge screen of error messages, but once we got the hang of reading and using them, we found them very helpful to identify and fox bugs.
Does your code use any methods from the Enumerable mixin? If so, where and why was it helpful?	We used max_by, min_by, select and map. All of which were used in the highest_score_from method. These enumerable methods allowed us to select from and sort our words data structure to find the best scoring word based on different criteria.
What was one method you and your pair used to debug code?	We primarily used the error messages included in the tests to find specific issues and used puts statements to see if if methods were returning the desired output and to visualize the data.
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?	We discussed out communications styles early, ask vs guess for example, so we were able to be more sensitive to each others styles. We found that we were able to adapt the Driver / Navigator programming to find our own rhythm and groove.

Good catch on needing to clone the array!

[kaidamasaki]

Nice use of returning out of the middle of a .each and of trailing if.

[kaidamasaki]

I really like your use of Enumerable methods in highest_score_from your code is really clear and elegant.

[kaidamasaki]

This is clear and works but causes noticeable lag every time a word is entered.

Can you think of a way to only read assets/dictionary-english.csv once?
