Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What patterns were you able to use from your Ruby knowledge to apply to JavaScript?	Conditions were similar, also instance method logic was very similar too. In the end, I have also mirrored what was Ruby class method and instance method in my use of prototype function (I used prototype only for the instance methods and 'class' methods became attributes of the object).
What was a challenge you were able to overcome on this assignment?	I think I gained a better understanding of what a prototype is. Before it wasn't entirely clear to me it should be used mostly for instance functions.
What is your favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	I really enjoy discovering what are the differences between Ruby and JavaScript, and what new options in syntax and functionality are available in JS :)
What is your least favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	Remembering the little details without which the code breaks, such as semicolons. Thank goodness for linter :)
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	I really enjoyed rewriting a familiar project in JS, I like it as it is. It's also nice to see how much faster we can do it, even if we are working with a whole new language.
