Lesson 8: Practice Time!

In the previous exercise, you created a good starting point for CalculateDamage(), but the function body contains constants and variables that would work better as parameters. As a reminder, heres how the function looks now:

In the previous exercise, you created a good starting point for CalculateDamage(), but the function body contains constants and variables that would work better as parameters. As a reminder, here’s how the function looks now:

|  | CalculateDamage() : float = |
| --- | --- |
|  | MinHealth : float = 1.0 |
|  | PotionDamageAmount : float = 80.0 |
|  | var PlayerHealth : float = 100.0 |
|  |  |
|  | # If the damage amount would not eliminate the player, do that amount of damage |
|  | if (PlayerHealth > PotionDamageAmount): |
|  | return PotionDamageAmount |
|  | else if (PlayerHealth > MinHealth): |
|  | # Give player one more chance if their health is low |
|  | return PlayerHealth - MinHealth |
|  | else: |
|  | # Eliminate player |
|  | return PlayerHealth |
