Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What patterns were you able to use from your Ruby knowledge to apply to JavaScript?	In terms of logic, there's not much of difference between too language, but they have different syntax (for loops in Javascript - times loops in Ruby for example). I used class keyword and static functions which act like class methods in Ruby.
Did you need to use different strategies to find information online about JavaScript than you would for Ruby?	In stead of using Ruby doc, I used MDN web doc to read about JavaScript reference
What was a challenge you were able to overcome on this assignment?	I learned that forEach loop won't stop even if return keyword is used. This took me about 20 minutes debugging but now I understand the difference between for loop and forEach loop
What has been interesting and positive about learning a new programming language?	The syntax is different-ish, but the overarching concepts seem to be very much alike.
What is something to focus on your learnings in JavaScript in the next week?	Practicing using array function maybe.

In general I suggest avoiding the use of an old-fashioned for loop, in favor of alternative loops. That said, it isn't bad for a counter like this loop.

[CheezItMan]

Since the method is more returning a set of random elements as opposed to random indices, I'd suggest naming this method getRandomElements

[CheezItMan]

There is an Array.find method.
