1,679 Points_score_set method
I'm lost here. I don't understand this _score_set code. I guess I don't understand the game rules. Can anyone please explain the logic of this code.

231,248 PointsThe "_set" property of a Hand is an object that groups all the dice by value (this is done earlier in the course).
So what "_score_set" does is loop through all the possible values, and determine how many points each set is worth (the value multiplied by how many). Then it returns the highest of these values.
The game rules only relate to why you'd care about this total.
