I have a similar question posted, it was getting messy and this will be much easier to follow. The part that is in the Runner() that is /commented out/. You un-comment this, run the program once, check you console print out. Then /comment it out/ again, and run the program a second time, you will notice that the subCodebook = {} is returning a blank/null; This is my question, why is this returning null.
