Chose the statement that best corresponds to your situation.

I didn't know where to start, or was unable to make any progress, or I kept getting syntax errors and nothing really worked. The course will most likely be too difficult for you. If possible, you should consider taking it later so you can refresh you programming skills in the meantime.

I managed to get something working but my solution uses basic data structures (arrays, variables), has a lot of loops and conditions, and I had to squash many bugs along the way. You're a bit behind but it should be possible to catch up by reviewing the programming-related material of COMP 250, including re-doing the practice exercises.

I solved the problem using mechanisms and abstractions supported by the Java API (for example, regular expressions, a map data structure), and I mostly felt like I knew what I was doing. You're at the right level for the course.
-
I solved the problem with a single Java statement. Your level of Java programming skills is more advanced than required.
