Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
When does the initialize method run? What does it do?	It runs when .new is used and it "constructs" the object.
Why do you imagine we made our instance variables readable but not writable?	Because the user should not modify the state from outside the class.
How would your program be different if each planet was stored as a Hash instead of an instance of a class?	Accessing the descriptive values for each planet would have been more difficult.
How would your program be different if your SolarSystem class used a Hash instead of an Array to store the list of planets?	I would have had to define a key for each instance of planet and use that key to display the summary of a planet for example.
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 tried to make each class have their own responsibilities but I'm not sure I'm achieving it.
How did you organize your require statements? Which files needed requires, and which did not? What is the pattern?	main.rb is where I'm using require_relatives because it is the file where the classes interact.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Overall	You hit the learning goals of the project, but your find_planet_by_name method is a bit awkward. See my inline notes about it and let me know if you have questions. Nice work.

You could simply:

return planets.find do |planet|
  planet.name.upcase == planet_name.upcase
end

This isn't calculating the distance between two planets. Instead it's calculating the distance between a planet and the sun, which is already served by a method in the Planet class.
