    Nothing stopping you. But we have no way to know if we are aiding you in circumventing your professor’s rules… shouldn’t they be earning their keep and providing sufficient learning support for you to pass the class?

    From my own perspective, I like ruminating on questions that are beyond the scope of a CS class… especially in a public forum where my mistakes can (hopefully not in a toxic way) be corrected so I can learn also. But coming up with yet another way to describe why one basic sorting algorithm is faster than another just seems redundant. It may be new to you, but homework is supposed to build your vocabulary not ours.

      I’m doing this course completely on my own. And because of this, l’m finding it a difficult struggle. They do have an online community on discord, but after installing discord, l’m unable to figure out in which section to ask exactly. Those who are used to piefed/lemmy/mastodon are totally at sea when they see discord.
