I am a little perplexed with your decision to separate the logic of the program over two .js files

The decision to separate the task over two .js file struck me as quite a strange decision as it isn't something we have done throughout the course so far.

Hi Lester,

The separation of codes in two files is to organised and make it much more user-friendly to the next programmer. It still will work the same as long as when you link your js files in the html is in correct order. If you're sure that you'll only be the one using the code you can make it on a one file.

Thank you for your reply. I understand the reasons it was done, I was just surprised that the teacher/lecturer's solution was presented in this way when previously he had not take this approach.
