Tell us what’s happening:

Cannot detect straights whatsoever no matter what.
const checkForStraights = (arr) => {
const counts = {};

for(const num of arr) {
counts[num] = counts[num] ? counts[num] + 1 : 1;
}
const keys = Object.keys(counts).join(‘’)

if (keys === ‘12345’ || keys === ‘23456’) {
updateRadioOption(4, 40);
}

if (keys.slice(0, 4) === ‘1234’ || keys.slice(0, 4) === ‘2345’ ||
keys.slice(1, 5) === ‘1234’ || keys.slice(1, 5) === ‘2345’) {
updateRadioOption(4, 30);
}
updateRadioOption(5, 0);
}

  • For a large straight, both radio buttons should be updated (edit, actually this requirement seems to have been removed).

  • For a small straight, the correct button should be updated (check the index you are passing).

If the user gets a large straight, update the fifth radio button with a score of 40 . If the user gets a small straight, update the fourth radio button with a score of 30 .
