var IceIceBaby = (function(window, $, undefined) {
  
  
  /*
    For clarity when you see this being referenced, in this instance its referencing
    a new object that was created when the new keyword was called. The new object
    will have the init function and the stop function on it.
  */
  
  var VanillaIce = function() {
    // public methods
    this.init = function() {
      console.log(this.publicData);
    };
    
    // public method but pulls some private data
    this.stop = function() {
      console.log(iceSolvesProblem)
    };
    
    this.publicData = "stop collaborate and listen";
    
    return this;
  };
  
  // Private Data
  var iceSolvesProblem = "If there was a problem, Yo, I'll solve it!";
  
  
  return VanillaIce;
  
  
}(window, $));

// vanilla Ice helps you understand javascript
var iceModule = new IceIceBaby();
iceModule.init(); // logs public data "stop collaborate and listen"
iceModule.stop(); // logs private data "If there was a problem, Yo, I'll solve it!"
