The following are clarifications and further discussion on Project 4. Many of these items were generated based on questions received during lectures and in e-mails to Mr. Kukla and Ms. Mitchell. Check this page frequently to keep informed!

• The project description states in the Assumptions section that: "You may assume that the user will respond to yes/no questions with 'y', 'Y', 'n', or 'N'. If you wish to do further error checking, you may." However, the executable responds (in most cases) only to lower case inputs. Either way is acceptable. That is, your program may respond to just 'y' and 'n', or to 'y', 'Y', 'n', and 'N'.

• The sample executable does not accept a reply of 'n' to the question "Ok. Think of an animal. Ready? ('y' to continue):". Again, either way is acceptable. That is, your program may respond to 'n' and terminate execution or it may just restate the question as the executable does.
