Every fucking coding assignment you get from any school will be horrible.

For example, learning about arrays. Teachers wants us to make a calendar app. Input the number of a month and it will display the a calendar for the month for he current year. That's it. Simple shit.

Would you use an array to do this. If you answered yes, then you are just as stupid as any CS teacher.

So I write a program that uses the algorithm to find the day of the week for any given date. With that I get the first day of the week for the inputted month and then get output the calendar.

It was simple, met and exceeded all areas of the assignment and it was a fail. Because I didn't use an array. I explained to the teacher that "use an array" wasn't in the requirements. He didn't care because he was an idiot.

They all are.
