| Oct 7, 2023 at 23:33 | comment | added | UpAndAdam | My apologies when I reviewed your code I must have missed the null initialization at the beginning of your load. My sentiment is that if this stuff is new to you then you should really consider watching the lessons. The aim is to get you to think like a computer scientist. There is more to learn in each step than just being able to code a solution to the problem. There is a lesson in how to go about it and basic theories and patterns about computer science. You need to understand what you’re doing and why and blindly looking up answers on web won’t give you that. | |

| Oct 6, 2023 at 22:56 | comment | added | user40380 | you say in the first paragraph [lines 3-6]. I admit I didn't do a decent debugging by any means. I admit there are several gaps of logic in my code. I admit that I don't even remember how much time I spent debugging, because my brain was so foggy I just wanted to be done with it. I am very satisfied with what you said about my debugging process and my code. However, I would greatly appreciate it If you could elaborate on that section I referenced earlier. You seem like a reputable guy (source: your bio), so having some of that wisdom early to me seems like a good idea. Thanks. | |

Thank you @ DinoCoderSaurus, for pointing out the glaring mistake on the load function. My thought process is that cat was such a common word that it would be included in every dictionary (Facepalm). Thank you, especially, @UpAndAdam for all the great pointers regarding my approach both to CS and this pset. | |
