I think Ashley included an unnecessary line of code when she put the instantiation of the Token
object on a separate line. My code:
/**
* Creates an array of Token objects for the player
* @param {int} num - number of token objects to create
*/
createTokens(num)
{
const tokens = new Array();
for (let i = 0; i < num; i++) {
output.push(new Token(i, this));
}
return tokens;
}
Is this not more efficient?

The fact that you're thinking of effective alternative strategies is evidence of your learning progress and grasp of the material. Good job!
