// Module 4 Assignment Instructions.
//
// The idea of this assignment is to take an existing array of names
// and then output either Hello 'Name' or Good Bye 'Name' to the console.
// The program should say "Hello" to any name except names that start with a "J"
// or "j", otherwise, the program should say "Good Bye". So, the final output
// on the console should look like this:
/*
Hello Yaakov
Good Bye John
Good Bye Jen
Good Bye Jason
Hello Paul
Hello Frank
Hello Larry
Hello Paula
Hello Laura
Good Bye Jim

// STEP 1:
// Wrap the entire contents of script.js inside of an IIFE
// See Lecture 52, part 2
// (Note, Step 2 will be done in the SpeakHello.js file.)

var names = ["Yaakov", "John", "Jen", "Jason", "Paul", "Frank", "Larry", "Paula", "Laura", "Jim"];

// STEP 10:
// Loop over the names array and say either 'Hello' or "Good Bye"
// using either the helloSpeaker's or byeSpeaker's 'speak' method.
// See Lecture 50, part 1

for (var i = 0; i < names.length; i++ /* fill in parts of the 'for' loop to loop over names array */) {

  // STEP 11:
  // Retrieve the first letter of the current name in the loop.
  // Use the string object's 'charAt' function. Since we are looking for
  // names that start with either upper case or lower case 'J'/'j', call
  // string object's 'toLowerCase' method on the result so we can compare
  // to lower case character 'j' afterwards.
  // Look up these methods on Mozilla Developer Network web site if needed.

  var firstLetter = names[i].charAt(0).toLowerCase();

  // STEP 12:
  // Compare the 'firstLetter' retrieved in STEP 11 to lower case
  // 'j'. If the same, call byeSpeaker's 'speak' method with the current name
  // in the loop. Otherwise, call helloSpeaker's 'speak' method with the current
  // name in the loop.
  
  if (firstLetter === 'j'/* fill in condition here */) {
    // byeSpeaker.xxxx
    byeSpeaker(names[i]);
  } else {
    // helloSpeaker.xxxx
    helloSpeaker(names[i]);
  }
