Here is an algorithm I developed for Assignment 1. Please tell me if I've
done anything wrong.
One of the more important skills you'll need to develop as a programmer is the
ability to answer the questions "Is it correct? Does it work?" to the
satisfaction of yourself, your colleagues, managers, customers, and others who
may ask.
I'm usually happy to answer a specific question, such as "My program does X if
Y happens. Is that correct?" I'm also willing, time permitting, to listen to
you work through some ideas, as long as you understand that I'm going to play
the devil's advocate ("why do you think that's a good idea?") and that I'm not
going to tell you (at least directly) how to solve the problem. However the
more general fishing expeditions, such as "Is my program right?", I'll leave to
you to answer, at least up until the due date.
