Tell us what’s happening:

I totally changed my logic and again it seems to work but for some reason I am still stuck and not getting it right :confused:
Any help would be welcome. Thanks :slight_smile:

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

};

const checkForStraights = (arr) => {
  const sortedArray = [...arr].sort((a,b) => a - b);
  console.log(sortedArray);
  const uniqueValuesArr = [...new Set(sortedArray)].join("");
  console.log(uniqueValuesArr);
  const smallStraight = ["1234", "2345", "3456"];
  const largeStraight = ["12345", "23456"];

  if (largeStraight.some(straight => uniqueValuesArr.includes(straight))) {
    updateRadioOption(4, 40); 
  } 
  else if (smallStraight.some(straight => uniqueValuesArr.includes(straight))) {
    updateRadioOption(3, 30); 
  } 
  else {
    updateRadioOption(5, 0);
  }
};

rollDiceBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
  if (rolls === 3) {
    alert("You have made three rolls this round. Please select a score.");
  } else {
    rolls++;
    resetRadioOptions();
    rollDice();
    updateStats();
    getHighestDuplicates(diceValuesArr);
    detectFullHouse(diceValuesArr);
    checkForStraights(diceValuesArr);
  }
});

Try removing the else here and running the last update all the time.

You haven’t mentioned what error you are getting or whether you tested the code or not so I’m just gonna keep guessing…

When you get a large straight, you need to update two radio buttons (plus the last one which always gets updated).

This is because a large straight also includes a small straight. So update your code and test to make sure it is working. You can hardcode the array you are passing the function to different values so you can confirm the code is behaving correctly each time.
