subtraction method outcome quiz

​@isoruby  - care to share a screenshot of your logic so far? that will help us troubleshoot

Hi, here are screenshots of my answer points and then the final part which i tried to do subtraction method to determine the highest score and which answer to send to.. when I test it, I seem to be getting the right scoring (i think? I’m confused now with the subtraction going on), but it doesn’t lead me to the outcome which the highest score..

​@isoruby ​@Liz  - it looks like the logic is funky. your rules here: 

don’t compare one variable to another, you have a series of subtractions that reduce the value of one variable … ie if v_power is 10 to start with, by using ALWAYS you run through this type of sequence 

• (((((v_power - v_primal) - v_romantic) - v_sensualist )- v_spiritualist )- v_thrill ) = ????

you then compare your ???? result to is v_power greater than 0. 

you could have the scores as follows: 

v_power = 10

v_primal = 9

v_romantic = 5

v_sensualist = 4

v_spiritualist =3

v_thrill = 2 

running through your logic, v_power would be equal to -13 

you need to change the logic, i think, to something more like this: 

• if v_power - v_primal is greater than 0 AND if v_power - v_romanitc greater than 0 AND if v_power - v_sensualist is greater than 0 AND v_power - v_spiritualist greater than 0 AND v_power - v_thrill greater than 0 then go to ending for v_power

in that rule, if each calculation/comparison is greater than 0 then v_power is the unique highest score. 

do that for each of the variables and you can direct to the appropriate ending if there is a unique high score. 

this does not take into account any ties though. 

hope that helps to get you started

Thank you so much, ​@john.desborough ! Let us know how this goes, ​@isoruby .
