what does this even mean?? cant you just have a process to make sure both authentications are valid?
It's a really silly question IMO, literally just trying to trick us fr.

No worries. Do you want me to tell you what I got for the other questions because its most likely full marks on my end. Lol
Yeah would be nice to hear actually

Maybe write up a list of tips for next year students because hearing some SR tips (as you're gonna state rank, right?) will properly help the bos community <3

Why was the linking question so controversial.

I wrote somethign along the lines of this

"Linking is used when another library is linked to the program such as Dlls. If a developer doesn't link the program to the library, or doesn't link correctly, the code will not be generated, and an error will be shown"

Is this wrong?

Idk I spoke about how it allows execution by checking that there is available memory and that registers won't get overwritten.... Which is completely wrong lmao

For that desk check question, what were the two problems the code you put?

My answer

1. The program will always print invalid because the first letter gets tested two times. Start teh counter at 2
2. When Q is entered, the program will exit without any warning. Add a print statement saying 'program exiting" to say that the program is exiting

I got your problem 1 but problem 2 that you've listed isn't really a valid problem, more a quality of life user interface issue

I said (for my second issue) that the length of the ProductCode is being checked outside the loop, and hence does not update when a new ProductCode is inputted. you would have seen that when doing your desk check... anyways to fix that you basically just move the length statement to inside the while loop

those were the rules given right? what was the actual first q which was 2 marks? i remember the 2nd q which was also 2 marks was write the rule for better city
the two that he mentioned were the facts needed for f city to be a better city. The rule would be something like "bettercity(X,Y) :- morepopulation(X,Y) , highercrime(Y,X)" i also forgot the names of the facts given in the question but you get the point

i put exactly what u put as well. i was confused about the desk check though, i completely filled up the table and only got through to the Q input so i wasnt able to try X. also the program would have encountered an error right after my last desk check line because it would have tried to read a second character when Q is only length 1. is that what was meant to happen?

yeah I did my desk check and stopped at Q because it was the last row in the table... it was a very messy desk check tbh and I reckon I might lose a mark? 😬

the question gave that morepopulation(a_city, b_city) means a_city has higher pop and the same with highercrime(a_city, b_city) and it said what constitutes one city being better than another (higher pop and lower crime), so it said write two facts which result in f_city being a better city than g_city. what i put was morepopulation(f_city, g_city) and highercrime(g_city, f_city) and i think that's meant to be correct but someone can correct me if im wrong
