MVP

Episode 1

Solution is: Miss Scarlet

const scenario = {
  murderer: 'Miss Scarlet',
  room: 'Library',
  weapon: 'Rope'
};

const declareMurderer = function() {
  return `The murderer is ${scenario.murderer}.`;
}

const verdict = declareMurderer();
console.log(verdict);

Episode 2

Solution would be Professor Plum because we cannot modify const murderer, but the code crash because of attempting this change.

const murderer = 'Professor Plum';

const changeMurderer = function() {
  murderer = 'Mrs. Peacock';
}

const declareMurderer = function() {
  return `The murderer is ${murderer}.`;
}

changeMurderer();
const verdict = declareMurderer();
console.log(verdict);

First Verdict: Mrs. Peacock Second Verdict: Professor Plum

let murderer = 'Professor Plum';

const declareMurderer = function() {
  let murderer = 'Mrs. Peacock';
  return `The murderer is ${murderer}.`;

const firstVerdict = declareMurderer();
console.log('First Verdict: ', firstVerdict);

const secondVerdict = `The murderer is ${murderer}.`;
console.log('Second Verdict: ', secondVerdict);

Episode 4

Solution is [Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard] Second log is Mrs. Peacock

let suspectOne = 'Miss Scarlet';
let suspectTwo = 'Professor Plum';
let suspectThree = 'Mrs. Peacock';

const declareAllSuspects = function() {
  let suspectThree = 'Colonel Mustard';
  return `The suspects are ${suspectOne}, ${suspectTwo}, ${suspectThree}.`;

const suspects = declareAllSuspects();
console.log(suspects);
console.log(`Suspect three is ${suspectThree}.`);

  return `The murderer is ${murderer}.`;

changeMurderer();
const verdict = declareMurderer();
console.log(verdict);

Episode 7

let murderer = 'Professor Plum';

const changeMurderer = function() {

      murderer = 'Miss Scarlet';
    }

    unexpectedOutcome();
