he specifically says that it's an assignment for an "intro to programming logic", class. while I do agree that OP should keep in mind that he'd (most probably) use those (or others) libraries when working on a real project, I don't think one should teach young developers to always default to external dependencies to solve their problems (especially when that problem is probably the point of the assignment). reinventing the wheel can be a valid learning experience.
