This is smart and gets the job done, but it is trying to achieve too much on one line - making it vulnerable to bugs and difficult to read.

How can you take these steps and break them into separate lines?

I can not see a comment to explain why this is bad code. Did you add one?

This could use a little work, as the exercise above asks you to use the functions (like you have below in goodCode). Why would all your functions on one line (like you have in goodCode) be bad? Hint - bugs, readability

I concentrated so much on JavaScript that I didn`t notice task "Comment your answer..." ))) I updated my code and pushed it

This does the job, but good code is highly readable and easy to modify so tends to be broken out into multiple lines. Can you break this out into steps?

Ah, I think I see. Do you need to call findRandomIndex within the shakeBall function so that it changes the output each time?

I am not sure what this is doing (am new to javascript). Could you please explain? Remember to focus on readability. Looks great though and it's awesome to see all the tests passing.

You could add further comments to explain how Math.random() returns a decimal value which is then scaled to a desired range.

Agreed. It'll be helpful for collaborators to know what the random operator does.

Also, is 9 the highest output of this function? What if math.random selects 0.9, for example?

Oh, yes, you are right. Math.random() returns a decimal value, and it can be scaled more than just to 9. But if to speak just about my function - it returns form 0 to 9. Thank you, Shahid and Katie!

Nice start but think we can add a little more detail here. What specifically is this function doing?

Also, concat can be used to concatanate strings and arrays, but can it concatanate numbers?

function combine2Words(word1, word2) {
return word1.concat(word2);
return word1.concat(word2);
}

function concatenate(firstWord, secondWord, thirdWord) {
// Write the body of this function to concatenate three words together.
// Look at the test case below to understand what this function is expected to return.

return firstWord.concat(' ', secondWord, ' ', thirdWord);

It can be useful to declare separate variables at stages of each operation. When calculations become more complexed it may be necessary to check various stages to see if and when mistakes occur.
