This is a small problem we would like you to solve so that we may better understand your coding ability.

Criteria

We will be looking at your problem-solving ability, code quality, cleanliness, and professionalism.

Project

We would like you to create a web-based ranking system for a darts league. Minimally-outlined html, css, and javascript files have been provided for you.

Rules

  • After each player takes her/his turn, their name and score is entered into the text input in the format name, score.
  • Clicking Add to Rankings parses the contents of the form field and adds the output to the rankings.
  • The rankings should be appended to ul#rankings and formatted to meet the example output below.
  • Players with the same score are 'tied', and should have the same rank.
  • Players can take any number of turns. The results of multiple turns are added to the players' score.

Example

The following game should produce the specified output.

Game:

Janet Pluchinsky, 10
Eliot Waugh, 1
Alice Quinn, 27
