Re: There are anti-copilot techniques...

Problem is some of us learn by looking at others code. Currently trying to learn Python doing the free Harvard course. But struggle at times with the problem sets and makes me, at least, want to give up and move on. Looking at others code really helps when totally stuck. However I make sure I understand exactly what is happening for every line. And I've even changed the code in mine and done the solutions different ways.

My logic has never been great so when some take an input and convert to an int at the same time. I know I wouldn't of thought of that so do it the longer way of taking the input then on the next line converting it to an int. I never totally copy, I always make sure I understand what the code is doing.
