I got my final results for Semester 1 today.
I was pleased overall but it annoyed me again to see my lowest percentage of the semester… 40% in Coursework #6 🙁 The reason for this is that, as seen in .zips, we had to hand in a few assignments as .zips. When I got the result for this assignment I was dismayed to see that the marker commented that he could not compile my code!
Of course, I immediately opened my cmd and compiled it myself- it worked perfectly. What was going on? Before accusing the marker of misspelling javac or something, I decided to check what I had handed in… Oops (as in oopsy-daisy or Object Oriented Programming, whichever).
My .zip did not contain the abstract class! The whole program was relying on the abstract class and it wasn’t there! No wonder the marker couldn’t compile it!
But I can’t really complain… hopefully I’ll learn from this mistake, and maybe you will too… Check the contents of your .zip before you send it!
(Also my next lowest mark is 78% in my mathsy exam so not too shabby hehe)
