Golf Code Seems So Confusing

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


var names = ["Hole-in-one!", "Eagle", "Birdie", "Par", "Bogey", "Double Bogey", "Go Home!"];
function golfScore(par, strokes) {
// Only change code below this line


return "Change Me";
// Only change code above this line
}

golfScore(5, 4);

Doing Some basic JS recap but it appears that golf code challenge got me confusing the most. Please help!!

Like, I was considering the how the code should be arranged in order of importance.

My code so far:

var names = ["Hole-in-one!", "Eagle", "Birdie", "Par", "Bogey", "Double Bogey", "Go Home!"];
function golfScore(par, strokes) {
  // Only change code below this line
if (strokes == 1) {
  return "Hole-in-one!";
} else if (strokes <= par - 2) {
  return "Eagle";
} else if (strokes = par - 1) {
  return "Birdie";
} else if (strokes = par) {
  return "Par";
} else if (strokes = par + 1) {
  return "Bogey";
} else if (strokes = par + 2) {
  return "Double Bogey";
} else {
  return "Go Home!";
}

  // Only change code above this line
}

golfScore(5, 4);

You don’t have to use the literal return like
return “Hone-in-one”

You can use the names array.

It’s like this
stroke s = 1 --> that’s Hole-in-one
-2 and below --> that’s Eagle
-1 --> that’s Birdie
0 or strokes and par are the same --> that’s Par
1 --> that’s Bogey
2 --> that’s Double Bogey
3 and above --> that’s Go Home

So golfScore(5,4) is Birdie
Since you made only 4 strokes for a par of 5

golfScore(5,2) is Eagle
Since you made only 2 strokes for a par of 5

golfScore(5,5) is Par
Since you made 5 strokes for a par of 5

golfScore(5,6) is Bogey
Since you made 6 strokes for a par of 5

golfScore(5,7) is Double Bogey
Since you made 7 strokes for a par of 5

golfScore(5,8) is Go Home
Since you made 8 strokes for a par of 5

golfScore(5,9) is also Go Home
Since you made 9 strokes for a par of 5

Hope this helps.

GOD bless.

do you want to compare or assign?

remember the difference between comparison and assignment operator

Hello everyone,
for my was hard to understand how to do a logic… I know that this was if/else if/else task, but just doesn’t get how to write logic.
But when I put my one eye a little bit to this post i wrote code like this.

If I can’t to figure out this simple task maybe I’am not smart enough? Why it’s so hard?
:smiley:
And I think that this solution can make much more solid to use for loop for(var i = 0; i < names.length; i++);, but I can not figure how… :frowning_face:

My code:

var names = ["Hole-in-one!", "Eagle", "Birdie", "Par", "Bogey", "Double Bogey", "Go Home!"];
function golfScore(par, strokes) {
  // Only change code below this line
if(strokes === 1){
  return names[0]
}else if(strokes <= par -2){
  return names[1]
}else if(strokes === par -1 ){
  return names[2]
}else if(strokes === par){
  return names[3]
}else if(strokes === par +1){
  return names[4]
}else if(strokes === par +2){
  return names[5]
}else if(strokes >= par +3){
    return names[6]

}else{

  return "Change Me";
  // Only change code above this line
}}

console.log(golfScore(4,3));```
