   Some people watch football, golf, or billiards. Some people watch poker or chess tournaments. Some people like to watch carpenters work or houses be remodeled. I like to watch other people code. I assume that somewhere in the world there

   I don't think that this is possible. The `#` is not a valid comment in C++, and `#!` is not a valid preprocessor directive, hence the error.

    A mini-break is ok. That's what vacations are for. If you're looking for longer term, though, you need to have a plan. Otherwise, it's just a band-aid on a broken bone. $600k is a lot in some parts of the country. It&#x27

    In my opinion, the best project is one that meets your specific need. In other words, you don't want to say "I can copy someone else's work", but rather "I can have an idea and then build it myself", which is a

    I used Google Slides, and didn't use annotations. The reason that I didn't wait until after the lecture is that, when covering technical- or notation-dense topics, especially if the information is new, students often need to look
