Nonsense. In HS I wrote my first 3d graphics engine in Pascal on a 80286 with a Hercules graphics card and a monochrome monitor. As a sophomore. Of course I had guidance to get to that level but no programming student past intro would need any help for rangeCheck.
rangeCheck is trivial. Any non-programmer could have written it as the first thing they ever created if they had a book next to them.
At this point Oracle's claims are asinine. The whole thing would be laughable if it wasn't such a huge waste of time/money.
