Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 18,080 PointsOOJS challenge - Would this work for the activePlayer() method?
Ashley's code for this method is:
activePlayer() {
return this.players.find(player => player.active);
}
The code I came up with, prior to seeing Ashley's more eloquent solution ; ) :
activePlayer() {
return this.players.filter(active = true);
}
Do they both produce the same results (a string value like "player1")? Please let me know if you have time. Cheers^^

The big difference is what they do: "find" returns just one element but "filter" returns a whole array of every element that meets the test criteria.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 18,080 PointsHi Steven. Thank you for your reply. I got a big laugh out of the first sentence that you wrote - what a thing to miss lol! Your answer makes sense. I will go with Ashley's code.
