Be grader for systems programming courses at my uni
OP, are you really that lazy? Surely you could write a bash script to do this in an hour.
>>pic related
You attached a pic of a kid holding a toy gun to its head.
How is it technology?
That's him.
>>Why did I fail?
>Because your shit didn't meet requirements
There, was that so hard?
I had to grade their "code quality", (comments, style, variable naming, etc.), so I couldn't just do automated testing. There was also a q/a portion of the assignment
how to avoid this
Was a teaching assistant and grader for a programming course once. Lol you can bet your ass I didn't accept that position again next period and for all the other courses that came begging for people

Kill yourself
>didn't read the requirements
That shit won't fly in the real world, why do you think they should get away with it in learning?
