Isn't my code much shorter and better?

Here is a snapshot of my workspace. https://w.trhou.se/cgjrka6e3v

Is it really better or the instructor's version is much more suggested. If so, why?

Your code looks great. There is an infinite way to improve a codebase which is getting more complicated than a couple of lines, even more so with larger codebases.

It could have happened that the teacher wanted to be more explicit and step-by-step with the solution, so that beginners would understand more easily, but you went ahead of your time and made something more advanced out of it.

I agree with Balazs Pukli, the instructor very well knows how to refactor code but they go the long way round for simplicity, to show for beginners, really how the code works step by step.

Cheers.
