Methods

---

evaluateGuess(guess)

Evaluate a guess against the secret sequence, returning an object with two properties:

• correctPosition: the number of numbers that have both the correct value and correct position.
• correctNumber: the number of numbers that have the correct value but wrong position.

For example, if the secret were [2, 1, 2, 2] and you guessed [1, 2, 3, 2] the response would be { correctPosition: 1, correctNumber: 2 }.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
guess	Array	A guess at the secret sequence.

Returns:

Response to the guess: { correctPosition: Number, correctNumber: Number }

Type

Object

Example

var secret = [2, 1, 2, 2]
var guess = [1, 2, 3, 2]
var game = new Game({ secret: secret })
var response = game.evaluateGuess(guess)
// response.correctPosition = 1
// response.correctNumber = 2
