Your programs need not be identical to ours. It is, however, important that your programs yield the correct results
(thus extensive testing is essential) and that you use good programming style as explained in the Study Guide. You
should, for example,
use meaningful names for variables, constants, functions, etc,
indent your code correctly,
include comments,
declare constants where appropriate,
avoid the use of global variables,
use the correct types of functions as well as
the correct types of parameters.
