Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
When does the initialize method run? What does it do?	Initialize method runs when a new instance of a class is created. It takes arguments and sets them for the new instance of the class.
Why do you imagine we made our instance variables readable but not writable?	We made our instance variables readable only because we don't want users to change any variables in our already created instances of classes.
How would your program be different if each planet was stored as a Hash instead of an instance of a class?	If each planet was stored as a Hash, my summary method would have been more verbose as we need the right key to access the values for the planet details.
How would your program be different if your SolarSystem class used a Hash instead of an Array to store the list of planets?	If the SolarSystem class used a Hash, I would still use the each method for my loop; however, getting the name of the planet will be bit complicated.
The Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) says that each class should be responsible for exactly one thing. Do your classes follow SRP? What responsibilities do they have?	I believe my classes follow SRP. My Planet class is responsible for creating a blueprint for planet instances, and has a method that can be called on a planet instance. Same goes for the SolarSystem class.
How did you organize your require statements? Which files needed requires, and which did not? What is the pattern?	I used 2 gems; thus, added them to the planet.rb and solar_system.rb files. Since the main.rb file is using classes and methods from both planet.rb and solar_system.rb files, I added require_relative planet.rb and solar_system.rb to the main.rb file.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Baseline
Whitespace (indentation, vertical space, etc)	yes
Variable names	yes
Git hygiene	I would like to see more descriptive commit messages. Your commits should tell the reader a story about what changed when and why, without them having to dig through the code or project requirements.
Planet
initialize method stores parameters as instance variables with appropriate reader methods	yes
summary method returns a string	yes
SolarSystem
initialize creates an empty list of planets	yes
add_planet takes an instance of Planet and adds it to the list	yes
list_planets returns a string	yes
find_planet_by_name returns the correct instance of Planet	yes
CLI
Can list planets and quit	yes
Can show planet details	yes
Can add a planet	yes
Complex functionality is broken out into separate methods	Could be a little better. I like your validations, but see my comment!
Overall	Good job overall - this submission is well-organized and clearly hits the learning goals. Keep up the hard work!
