- Seems you have an algorithm problem, not a coding problem. I can see that you know how to
- reference members of the array. You need to first understand the problem (accumulating a
- bowling score). Before you write any code you should perform the steps on paper using
- your brain as the computer. (This is not sarcastic; The whole point of the course you are
- taking is to learn how to analyse the problem.) If you intend to use computer languages
- to solve problems, your strongest foundation must be in algorithm design. Don't cut
- corners here.

- If you want to talk more about this you can email me. I'm surprised your post lasted this
- long without comment.
