# create driver test code to retrieve a value at a coordinate here:

#Since I am still catching up on the challenges I am skipping the BONUS for now. I will come back to 
# it once I am caught up. 

#REFLECTION:
#The biggest challenge for me was figuring out to remove the dice_grid hash outside the class. I had it inside 
# and didnt need it there bc I am already passing it to the initialize method. Moving it outside the class then
# allowed for the creation of the new class instance "board".
