Tell us what’s happening:

The test passes but the code I found online seems to be incorrect can someone please explain what is happening here. Thanks

Your code so far

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


/* file: styles.css */


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region
function checkForStraights(arr){
  console.log(arr);
  const sorted = arr.sort((a,b)=>a-b);
  console.log(sorted);
  const difference = (sorted[4]-sorted[3])+(sorted[3]-sorted[2])+(sorted[2]-sorted[1])+(sorted[1]-sorted[0]);
  console.log(difference);
  if(difference === 5 || difference === 3){
    updateRadioOption(3, 30);
  }
  if(difference === 4){
    updateRadioOption(3, 30);
    updateRadioOption(4, 40);
  }
  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)
  }
});

What does the code you found online do? Can you explain what each part does?

Have you tested the code you found online?
With what arrays did you test it and how did it behave?
