This week was submission week - and while Collatz V1 went as smoothly as a warm knife through butter, V2 nearly drove me insane with the obstinate "wrong answer" posted after 2 excruciating seconds of running the code. And I wasn't alone! This led tons of acceptance testing and then to a hailstorm of comments and discussions on Piazza - and finally it turned out that Sphere wasn't, in fact, expecting the right answer, rather one that had been masked to 32-bits even though the calculations clearly led to numbers beyond that range. Who would have known!! Anyway, Project 1 is done and dusted...and it's time to move on to Project 2, and with it, pair programming! More on that next week!
As far as class material goes, we've mostly been covering assertions and exceptions and also the l-value, r-value concepts related to operators. So far so good....more to come!
