COMMENTS

Feb 17, 23:52 - Thanh: I like your docstrings; they're pretty succinct and clear as to what your functions do! It'd be easier for reading/understanding if you had put the if expressions on separate lines; but, it's not that big of a deal. It's just a style issue, I guess.

Please log in if you would like to add comments.
