	Checkpoint 2: Writing some more complex functions have proven to be a challenge but also quite interesting. The new and more complex functions looked intimidating at first because it looked like everything was all over the place. My biggest struggle was figuring out what each part of the new complex functions did and how they work with other functions. In order to make progress I looked up information related to the complex functions to get a better understanding of what each part is meant for and how it work within itself and other functions. Like previous checkpoints, this task required me to think outside the box and seek outside clarification to be successful.
