This is lacking. The second parameter, 'wager', appears to be the # of handshake cards, but 'wager' isn't even in the description.

It seems I really can't understand this description.

how can ([2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10], 0) be 12?, sum of array is 32, 0 played so no -20?

fixed by B4B

should be good now.

@Bllind4Basics ~~ Ping, you mind fixing this ? (if you still remember what the task is about? ^_^ (kinda unlikely lol XD ! ! ~~

Could the author explain, providing all details to make it comprehensible, how from the input arguments ([2, 4, 6, 7, 8], 2) he manages to get a final score of 20?

If I try to follow the description :

1 .To calculate one’s score, a player totals all the number cards they played and any wager cards played are used as score multipliers.

so total of played cards is 2+4+6+7+8=27

then I try to apply the so called score multiplier:

2 wager cards = score * 3

3*27 = 81

The case if the player plays any cards at all does not apply here (I guess, or please explain), and Wager points should be multiplied after all other calculations. : that's what I do (I guess, or please explain).

So I get 81, and not 20. And I can't even imagine how I could do so. Thank you in advance.

Description is little confusing, so my feedback what i see :
Description has all needed information, but somehow reading it brain skips the info :D
Changes minor so you can ignore this.

From :
Write a function where, given an array of numbers (the numbered cards played) and a second parameter (# of wager cards played), will calculate a player’s score.
To :
Write a function where, cardsArr ( array of numbered type cards played) and wager (count of wager type cards played), will calculate a player’s score.

Too long to explain. Just poke at me again in 1 week (I need the issue opened for long enough to access the edit panel).

Several people have said this, but no one is willing to provide any useful feedback as to what specifically is unclear. So it's not a useful comment. I've tried to delete the kata and codewars will not allow me to.

the description is totally bad and needs to be rewritten...

I agree, that seems out of place.

Thank you! I'm so excited that it has been approved!!

Thanks. That was what I thought - not enough katas that require error throwing.

I think it is clear enough to be solved. I am glad it has been approved, well done.
