If you roll the dice and get a Three of a kind or Four of a kind, then you can get a score totalling the sum of all five dice values. To calculate this, create a getHighestDuplicates function which takes an array of numbers. The function will need to count how many times each number is found in the array.
If a number appears four or more times, you will need to update the Four of a Kind option with your updateRadioOption function. If a number appears three or more times, you will need to update the Three of a Kind option. In both cases, the score value should be the sum of all five dice.
Regardless of the outcome, the final option should be updated with a score of 0. Make sure to call your getHighestDuplicates when the dice are rolled.
And here’s the code with the input checking for Three of a Kind and Four of a Kind, if neither is found (!threeOfAKindUpdated && !fourOfAKindUpdated), the final radio option (index 2) is explicitly updated with a score of 0 using updateRadioOption(2, 0).
// Function to calculate and update Three of a Kind or Four of a Kind
const getHighestDuplicates = (diceArray) => {
const count = {};
// Count occurrences of each number in the dice array
diceArray.forEach(num => {
count[num] = (count[num] || 0) + 1;
});
// Calculate the sum of all five dice
let sum = diceArray.reduce((acc, num) => acc + num, 0);
let threeOfAKindUpdated = false;
let fourOfAKindUpdated = false;
// Check for Three of a Kind or Four of a Kind
for (let num in count) {
if (count[num] >= 4 && !fourOfAKindUpdated) {
// Update Four of a Kind radio option (index 0)
updateRadioOption(0, sum);
fourOfAKindUpdated = true;
} else if (count[num] >= 3 && !threeOfAKindUpdated) {
// Update Three of a Kind radio option (index 1)
updateRadioOption(1, sum);
threeOfAKindUpdated = true;
}
}
// If no Three of a Kind or Four of a Kind, update the final radio option (index 2) with score = 0
if (!threeOfAKindUpdated && !fourOfAKindUpdated) {
updateRadioOption(2, 0); // Update the final radio option with score = 0
}
};
// Event listener for rolling dice and updating stats
rollDiceBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
if (rolls === 3) {
alert("You have made three rolls this round. Please select a score.");
} else {
rolls++;
rollDice();
updateStats();
getHighestDuplicates(diceValuesArr); // Call getHighestDuplicates to check for Three of a Kind or Four of a Kind
}
});
But I still receive this error message:
Sorry, your code does not pass. Try again.
When the array has less than three of the same number, your getHighestDuplicates function should update the final radio option with , score = 0.
