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?	if and if else statements are very similar in both languages. It was also helpful to understand that regular data structures like Hashes and Arrays have functions that can be called on them, and could be accessed in a very similar way as they could in Ruby.
What was a challenge you faced in this assignment?	I don't understand why a few of my tests aren't passing. There is an error thrown, even if it isn't the expected error. Shouldn't any error thrown constitute as a passing test if you're just looking for an error?
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	I think that maybe having the "solution" to the Ruby scrabble could be beneficial since it seems that I've heard devs sometimes have to take code that's written in one language and transfer it to another.

Looks good!

Your tests fail because the syntax for expecting something to throw is that expect() should take in a function that executes the erroneous code.

For example, your code is originally:

expect(player.highestWordScore()).toThrow();

and it passes when you change it to:

expect(() => player.highestWordScore()).toThrow();

or

expect( function() { player.highestWordScore() } ).toThrow();

If I had a chance to refactor, I'd try to refactor the if/else if block in score().

Otherwise, in general, good work!
