| Mr. Wallet:
Bad news Xalos: min and max are already functions. you missed em because they don't start with an extra "m". :p And anyway that assignment specifically is now completely useless because you just gave the whole answer. The point of the homework is to get people thinking like programmers by giving them some problems they can try to solve for themselves. As far as recording stuff, it's not really feasible unless I shell out money to my streaming service of choice. Awright I'm gonna do this on friday, spread the word. I'll post a new topic with the details in a day or two. Happy 4th everyone! |

orly? :cookieMonster: news to me. I wondered why they didn't have the m prefix, and that makes sense. I only code for RTB since that's all anyone uses anyway. Anyway it still has the problem that it's not self-contained, but then no simple project that needs return values is going to be. I think I'm SOL on that one. |

You could give them an 'assignment' where they have use something like 5 possible ways to find an object to use in a function, and show them how much easier it is to separate that into a function. |
