Hey guys, wondering if I could ask, is this sentence grammarically correct? In particular, I'm worried about the commas before the 'but' and after 'defeat'

> If I had not faced failure, but instead been consoled or sheltered from defeat, I never would have spent time learning.

Essentially 2/3 is good enough, but we just want to see who is really paying attention and gets a 3/3 also.

@Οurous you're totally right, but it was done intentionally. The context is I am interviewing students for a very competetive STEM club at my high school and those who claimed to know C on their application are being tested. As long as the applicants get a 2/3 we are fine. If they switch o1 and o2 values, we will only take off 1 point (not two even though both are technically wrong).

great thanks for looking over that question yesterday @Οurous @user202729

If anyone wants to test dummy this quiz ill be giving out.. it would be greatly apreciated. Please try to complete it in 1 minute and let me know how it goes. If you guys can't solve it in that time I'm certain the intended audience won't either.

Aug 29, 2018 04:23
mini challenge!!! can someone make this python3 program into one line? (without using a semicolon). Or is two lines the limit?-
val = int(100 * float(input("O hai! How much change is owed? ")))
print(val//25 + (val%25)//10 + (val%25%10)//5 + val%25%10%5)

Aug 24, 2018 06:06
that they use for their cubesat radio
Aug 24, 2018 06:06
we got software from CalPoly SLO
Aug 24, 2018 06:06

Aug 24, 2018 06:05
mostly C/C++ yeah
Aug 24, 2018 06:05
etc. etc.
Aug 24, 2018 06:05

managing 8 different serial protocols for various things is a pain in the ass
Aug 24, 2018 06:04
its a bit more expensive but its totally worth it to go full USB connections
Aug 24, 2018 06:04
