JavaScript JavaScript Loops Working with 'for' Loops The Refactor Challenge – Duplicate Code

My solution for The Refactor Challenge – Duplicate Code

Here's my solution using map() with the colors array. I'd love to hear your feedback on the code:

let html = '';
let randomRGB;

let colors = [0, 0, 0];
for ( let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
colors1 = colors.map(x => Math.floor(Math.random() * 256));
randomRGB = `rgb( ${colors1} )`;
html += `<div style="background-color: ${randomRGB}">${i}</div>`;
}

document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = html;

Hi Thu, I really like your solution! It's very streamlined and easy to understand. I like that you defined the randomRGB and html as empty variables at the top, I feel like that's more in step with what we've learned in our Javascript Basics course. I also like that you set the colors variable as an array- I had to look up what the "map" method was, I've never used it before but it makes sense in this context.

Good work!
