Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer

Describe an instance variable you used and what you used it for.	I used @name and @color in my Planet class to ensure that every new planet that was created had a user entered name and color stored.

Additional Notes	You didn't answer: Describe what the difference would be if your SolarSystem used an Array vs a Hash. You also submitted 2 files. I graded the one I thought was the finished product. Let me know if I was wrong. You hit all the primary requirements. I made some comments in your code for minor issues. Please review them. Let me know if you have questions.

In general don't use underscore (_) in Class names. Instead naming this class SolarSystem would be more appropriate.

[CheezItMan]

Why is planet_sum an array? Why not make it just a String? I don't think you gain anything making it an array.

[CheezItMan]

I'd put this in some kind of loop so I could see or add multiple planets.

[CheezItMan]

If the Planet name includes a number, it would be good to make sure that number works. Otherwise it's counterintuitive.

[CheezItMan]

Why make these attr_accessor unless you specifically want to give users the ability to directly change the attributes using attr_reader would be more appropriate.
