Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
How did you store menu components? Why?	Arrays, because I needed to store multiple objects of a similar type in the same place.
Could you have stored components using a different data structure? For example, if you used an Array could you have used a Hash?	Yes - but essentially it would be a hash with three keys and also the arrays because I needed the arrays to call them randomly, so it felt sort of unnecessary. Could be wrong.
Did you find yourself repeating the same code? Why did you have to do it that way?	No, unless you count me copying it for the different versions/adaptations. I did notice that in my .times loop I defined the variable 'item' but I'm not sure I needed to do that - I could have just put all the interpolators in the puts statement, but it looked so messy and confusing that way, so I kept the potentially unnecessary variable declaration.
What type of loop did you use? Why did you choose that type?	I used both the .times and .until loops in various versions. The .times allowed me to manipulate the code for the 'user input of number of items' version. Potentially I could have used a .each for the first version, but I didn't because I foresaw the need for .times. I used the .until in the loop that repeats until the user puts in a number my arrays have enough objects for.

You're right that you don't strictly need item here. However, it never hurts to break a complex bit of code up into multiple lines / variables. This can often make it much easier to read and to reason about.
