In which Pearl feels ridiculous

Well, today was the "dreaded" day. Or, so I thought.
Remember how I said that Lisa and I had a two-hour-long study session over the phone? (Oh, God, my neck hurt like hell.) Yeah, well, it turns out that I didn't really have to study at all. I pretty much knew everything on the test already.

The only question I had trouble with was Question 3, the one where you have to explain why the error message appears. My first thought was "What? He never taught us this! ...I think." Heh. *sweat*
So I did the rest of the quiz first. Then I had to go back and think about that question (unfortunately). I remembered that I once got a similar error message, except with a different kind of operator. In the end, I made an educated guess. I really hope I got it right. *wince* Because I think I did surprisingly well on the rest of the test. Then again, I shouldn't jinx myself.

My favourite question, however, was the last one - in which we had to write a program. (Heh. Personally, I would've been so much happier if the entire test simply required us to write a variety of programs.) I got through the declaration and input section pretty quickly. Then, when I got to the processing section, I was stumped - for a while. See, I couldn't figure how to instruct the computer how to, er, figure out...which integer was the greatest. But then I was reminded of the and option (I knew it had something to do with selection!) and things went uphill after that.

If you asked me, I think I did pretty well on the test - it was much easier than I expected it to be. On the other hand, I could've totally bombed it. *wince* I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope for the best...
