it was good :smile:

The questions were fairly straightforward, and I've seen most of them before in past papers. Although there was one question, I wasn't sure if I wrote the code right or not, but overall, I think it went quite well. 😊

I wrote “bit-map” instead of “bitmap”. Will this be an issue. Also what did everyone put for the username= firstname+yearOfBirth question. My friends said concatenation and I said “displays the user’s name followed by their year of birth”.

Also for the random generator did you guys put (0,49) or (1,50)?

I put 1,50 but I think it depends on the programming language.

for the question about the 3 ways to make the code more efficient did you have to link it back to the question like was sayin use an array enough for a mark or did u have to give an example specific answer ?

I think it was a state question so I just said “use meaningful variable names”

I think they're talking about a different question, but yeah, I said the same on the one you're talking about.😶*🌫️
