Review Algorithmic Thinking by Building a Dice Game - Step 9

Tell us what’s happening:

My code has passed the test but I am confused. When I console log selectedValue it returns 10 five times. I don’t understand why and I don’t even understand where selectedValue is defined. I feel like I’m missing something fundamental and maybe need to start this entire course over.

Your code so far

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


/* file: styles.css */


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

const updateScore = (selectedValue, achieved) => {
  score += parseInt(selectedValue);
  totalScoreElement.textContent = score;
  scoreHistory.innerHTML = `<li>${achieved} : ${selectedValue}</li>`;
  console.log(selectedValue);}

// User Editable Region

Here is the line that defines selectedValue.

Every time you call updateScore, the log will be printed. (The check button runs a script that calls the function that many times)

Okay, but why does it log the number 10? Which obviously is not an option in this dice game.

4

Because the testcase is calling it with that number.
