I sent you my assignment, and I was hoping too see if it worked correctly.
I dunno; what do you think?
One of the more important skills you'll need to develop as a programmer and
particularly as a software engineer is the ability to answer the questions "Is
it correct? Does it work?" to the satisfaction of your colleagues, managers,
customers, and others who may ask. (As an aside, answering those two questions
correspond to the validation and verification software engineering processes,
respectively.)
I'm usually happy to answer a specific question, such as "My program does X if
Y happens. Is that correct?" 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.
