Evaluate if the following function is a good candidate to be placed in a library. Why or why not?
(Level 5 UNIT 7)
This function is not a good candidate to be placed in a library. The creator of the library is attempting to update the global variables player1Points and player2Points. Because this is being peformed inside of a function, the updated scores for each player won't be retained unless someone creates the global variables player1Points and player2Points in their program. Alternatively, the function may be rewritten using the parameters playerPoints (existing score of each player) and points (additional score to be added) instead:
function updateScore(playerPoints, points) {
Return playerPoints + points
}
