I recently looked into another class, and I must say, Ming isn't the only one in this situation. Not-so-knowledgable-in-this-aspect teachers quite often make comments such as "document your program properly" when this is often taken, and accepted as adding in these "extraneous" comments. It doesn't help when the "IDE" you are using writes these extraneous comments for you at the start. More on that later.

I would have to agree with wtd and Mr Mckenzie, because there were lot of times I mean a LOT of times when these things happened to me, I wasnt able to solve the probelm because I couldn't see it. But the habit of indentation got into me, so I have put myself into this habit of pressing F2(indent) before F1(run). Everytime I run my program F2 is always there first. I never knew I could benefit so much from just indenting the code. Very Happy

Then go over the professor's head. Go to the head of the department. Tell them what's being asked and how it's not only pointless, but instills habits you'll have to break later. If they won't listen, go to their boss.
