RESPECT! i dont have the wan-tons to say that in the NG but you know we
are all thinkin it! I agree this ass'ment was throughly un-cool. But as
in the others, looking at the book gave MORE than enough hints. COUGH.

Hi, i would like to have a comment on this assingment. i don't know if
this assingment was meant to be easy or what, but i "personally" thought
it was the hardest of all. first of all it took me about 8 hours starting

I'd like to agree with what Puya has said. It seems that a lot of the
assignments (there aren't that many in the first place) were designed with
class definitions that were written to be especially difficult to
implementand not designed the way we were taught to design classes. Perhaps
this is done to have less cheating (from textbooks/etc), as that is the only
viable reason I see for this.

But there are so many other ways of making an assignment difficult (and
interesting), without making the difficulty 'annoying' (as in, why make
people use a 1D array; it seems like it was done just to be especially
difficult, not because it is the efficient, obvious choice for implementhing
a nondirectional graph with an adjacency matrix).

If you have had spent some time reading the book before starting this
assignment, I am sure that at lest half of that 8 hours would have been
saved :)

The assignment was made before this version of the book was published.
Just thought it is helpful to point that out.

I don't think this is enough to "affect" your mark. Focus on your study,
and make sure you don't let yourself affect your mark on the exam or there
after :p

By the way, I don't blame you for being bitter. And I am sure many of you
will keep being bitter in this program until the day you graduate. Here
is my advice to you, though. It is okay to be bitter just to release some
stress, which is healthy. But don't let it frustrate you, as that would
be unhealthy and useless.

Good luck in surviving the long journey ahead of you! ;)
