Common Questions
Q: Is it hard to understand the code?
A: Once you learn the basic code you just build off of that. So really once you've had enough practice everything seems to make sense.
Q: Is it easy to make a mistake?
A: Very easy. One small mistake can mess up the whole process. That's why you must be very focused when you code.
