Anthony,
This is a fantastic answer. I love to read answers that give incite into the
thought process of the question. This has been my biggest challenge with the
practice labs, deciphering the question and figuring out what they are
really asking for.
Your answer below gives great incite into the though process one needs to
have when examining goal of the task!
Thanks, and I look forward to seeing more like it.
