Heh.  

You'll get this eventually, so I'll just get it out of the way: either upgrade to 4.0.5 or use a different (freely available) language.  :)

It's so funny, schools insist on teaching obsolete versions of obsolete languages.

Why does the school board not go with a freely available, easy to learn language?

Anyway, yes, you can use those commands with 3.1.1

Quoted from a I love it when schools decide to teach a particular language because it's "the industry standard", then proceed to teach it in a completely non-standard way.

Or when they develop their own (typically half-assed) custom language because "C++ (or Java) is too complex" for first year students, utterly ignoring the wealth of other languages out there, or dismissing them "because they aren't industry standard tools".
