[Coda]

Augh, group work, I had the worst group work experience in college... long, long ago...

Assignment 4a: Write code to do a thing.
Assignment 4b: Trade code with randomly-selected partner. Use partner's code to do a different thing.

But what do you do when partner's code does not, in fact, do the thing? The assignment becomes impossible!

The worst part of this is that it was my senior capstone class. Every single student in that class had to have taken three years of college-level computer science classes. So why is it that ANYONE in the class could be SO BAD at it that they would turn in an assignment that can't even run? Bugs I could understand, but it was very obviously not finished.

My professor was really sarcastic about it when I asked what I should do. He said I could do the assignment the way I understood it, but he would grade it the way he understood it.
