Remember the best run

What we are doing

The score is the distance divided by 10. When a run ends with a new record, it is saved in the browser's localStorage.

```js
let best = Number(localStorage.getItem('runner-best')) || 0

    const score = Math.floor(distance / 10)
    if (score > best) {
      best = score
      localStorage.setItem('runner-best', best)
    }
```

What it means

• Math.floor drops the decimals of distance / 10.
• getItem reads the saved record (null at first, so || 0), setItem saves a new one.

Your turn

1. Under let nextIn, write the best line.
2. In the crash block of update, work out the score and save a record.
