Discussion on: JavaScript Katas: Calculate total amount of points

View post

Is there a benefit to memoizing the point addition of a specific game's score to avoid splitting, and comparing values, when we have already done so for the duplicate score?

I solved as shown below:

const calculateAmountOfPoints = games => {
  const seenScores = {};
  let total = 0;
  games.forEach(game => {
    if (seenScores[game]) {
      total += seenScores[game];
    } else {
      const [x, y] = game.split(":");
      let thisScore = 0;
      if (x > y) thisScore = 3;
      if (x === y) thisScore = 1;
      total += thisScore;
      seenScores[game] = thisScore;
    }
  });
  return total;
};
