Putting “return” on a different line from the actual value you’re returning?

Good example actually. You started with a books array, and changed the type to authors half-way through. To know the return type of the chain, I have to read through it and get to the end of each line. A longBooks array, and map(longBooks,

All this and no mention of Eleven Table Tennis. If you’re a fan of table tennis and you have a Quest, you should try this game. It’s fantastic. The controller is about the same weight as a table tennis racquet and it’s great practice.
