Review Algorithmic Thinking by Building a Dice Game - Step 7

Tell us what’s happening:

I have tried several different methods but kept getting back that it wasn’t updating the inputs correctly. I switched to try this method but it is now telling me i don’t have the function at all. Where am i going wrong here? Please do not give me the answer. What method should i be looking at? Am i missing something?
I will comment down below with what i tried to use just before this. I want to understand where i am going wrong not just fix it…

Your code so far

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

/* file: styles.css */

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

const getHighestDuplicates = () => {
  let score = 0;
  for(let i = 0; i < diceValuesArr.length; i++){
    let count = 1;
    for(let j = 0; j < diceValuesArr.length; j++){
      if(j !=== i && diceValuesArr[i] === diceValuesArr[j]){
        count++;
      }
    };
    if(count >= 3){
      score = diceValuesArr.reduce((acc, val) => acc + val);
      updateRadioOption(0, score)
    } else if(count >= 4){
      score = diceValuesArr.reduce((acc, val) => acc + val);
      updateRadioOption(1, score)
    } else {
      updateRadioOption(5, 0)
    }
  }
};

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

The way i tried just before this is…

const getHighestDuplicates = () => {

let highestDuplicate = 0;

diceValuesArr.forEach((num1, num2) => {

if (num1 === num2) {

highestDuplicate++;

}

})

let sum = diceValuesArr.reduce((acc, val) => acc + val, 0);

if (highestDuplicate < 3) {

updateRadioOption(-1, 0);

} else if (highestDuplicate = 3) {

updateRadioOption(0, sum);

} else if (highestDuplicate = 4) {

updateRadioOption(1, sum);

updateRadioOption(0, sum);

};

};

but this kept telling me i wasn’t updating the radio options correctly.

I tried a few other ways as well but kept getting the same response.

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

[pkdvalis]

create a getHighestDuplicates function which takes an array of numbers.

Your function needs to take an array of numbers as an argument.
