Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What did your data structure look like at first? Did this structure evolve over time? Why?	At first I had arrays with variable names that were driver IDs. It quickly became clear that I needed those driver IDs to be keys for hashes so I could call specific drivers' information.
What was your strategy for going through the data structure and gathering information?	The most helpful strategy was to organize the data as separate hashes of individual rides, with the data for each ride within the hash. This made it easy to iterate through the hashes and collect needed information.
What was an example of something that was necessary to store in a variable? Why was it necessary, useful, or helpful?	I stored the average rating of each driver in a variable (and then within a new hash), which was useful for when I was again using these numbers to find the driver with the highest average rating.
What kinds of iteration did you use? Did you use .map? If so, when? If not, why, or when would be a good opportunity to use it?	I used .each and .map. I used .map to make arrays of just the data I needed-- the amounts made by the drivers and their ratings (two separate arrays). This made it easy to apply the .sum method to the new arrays.
Were some calculations easier than others? Why?	Yes, the ones with built-in methods (.sum, I'm looking at you) were easier. The trickiest calculation was combining the earnings of repeated dates in order to find each driver's most lucrative date.
