2,000 PointsQuestion on the example enumerable.rb program in treehouse
so in the topic https://teamtreehouse.com/library/ruby-modules/ruby-core-modules/enumerable, there was the program with 2 classes. In the Game class, there is this method for the 'score'
def score
score = 0
players.each do |player|
score += player.score
end
score
end
Question: how is the score value retrieved by this method?.
This is what i understand so far, players in an array and for the game1 (in this case), the players will be an array that have the hashes inside like this
players= [{Jason: , 100}, {Kenneth: ,80}]
Update: how does the player1 & player2 data looks like thats is being pushed to the array players.

This is an array of objects. An object looks like this: jason = {Jason:100} jason[:jason] = 100

10,110 PointsNo. Think of an array as a list.
It could be a list of strings: ["cat", "dog", "steve"]
A list of numbers: [1,2,3,4]
a list of objects/hashes: [{Jim: 24},{Tom: 42},{John:27}]

2,000 Pointsan array can be a heterogeneous like: array = [1, abc, 9.55, {"name" => "Luke"}] but what’s the point for this to my question :)
