Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Would a hash work just as well as an Array in this project? Why?	This project was well suited to arrays. To get a set of non-repeating, randomly chosen values from each list (cooking descriptors, cooking styles, and foods), I used the sample method, which outputs an array. I was then able to call one of each by index number. This project could be re-written in hashes, but I don't see a strong benefit to that.
Did you find yourself repeating the same code? Why did you have to do it that way?	I mostly used loops to avoid repeating much codes
What type of loop did you use? Why did you choose that type?	I used each loops and times loops, since I wanted to repeat the same action a given number of times. Iterating over a range of numbers was also useful since my data was stored in arrays, and thus had numeric indexes.

Usually you'll want to remove debug output before turning in a project.

Oops. Thanks for pointing that out. My intention was to remove debugging output from the final version, but I missed that piece.
