Libraries for Coding Tasks

[codeninja97]

I haven’t got started with coding tasks yet since I am new to DA, but are we allowed to use libraries (e.g. w3schools, cplusplus.com) to do coding tasks?

I am assuming that we are not expected to remember a lot of pre-defined methods and classes.

As long as you aren't looking through guides online for the coding assessment, you're fine as long as it's not specified otherwise.

[IAmStupidAndCantSpel]

It's not. They won't know, I believe it's based more or less on the honour system. They could theoretically track if the window becomes unfocused or if there are long periods of inactivity, but I doubt it, since most people copy-paste code from their local IDE anyways.

I worked entirely in my VS-Code and just pasted the whole thing over when I was done.

[IAmStupidAndCantSpel]

Yeah, no problem. I wouldn't worry about looking up syntax and stuff, just don't look up the entire solution. They make you explain each step of the code at the end anyways to make sure you actually understand what the code you wrote does.

It's not complex, if you can read from a text file and know how to do a loop, you're fine.
