Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
How did you store menu components? Why?	As an array b/c the instructions specified creating 3 arrays. And then on the optional part, I switched to using a hash b/c it seemed a little more logical
Could you have stored components using a different data structure? For example, if you used an Array could you have used a Hash?	Yes, so I switched data structures on the optional part
Did you find yourself repeating the same code? Why did you have to do it that way?	Yes (and I hate it), so I put the parts I could into methods (like prompting the user to enter food items). But I couldn't figure out a way to not have the menu hash twice--once in the main program, and once in the a method I defined. A global variable might work, but I don't know how to define those in Ruby
What type of loop did you use? Why did you choose that type?	I used until to validate user input, and while to keep prompting the user for input because those will keep going until the conditions are met. And then I used a range to generate the random menu because I only wanted to do one loop a certain number of times so I couldn't iterate through the array itself. I guess I could have done a times loop, but a range was the first thing I thought of so I went with that.
