Those won&#039;t get marks. Please look at the solutions to get an idea of my expectations.<br /> - make sure to EXPLAIN, which generally means a mix of code snippets and explanation text. Be sure to report on the details of experiments you did so we could potentially replicate what you did.<br /> <br /> <br /> On Assignment 2<br /> - Q8, a valid date means just that<br /> - &quot;December&quot; is not a valid date<br /> - &quot;Last year&quot; is not a valid date<br /> - &quot;October 15, 2024&quot; is a valid date<br /> - &quot;10/15/2024&quot; is a valid date<br /> and so on.<br /> <br /> Date validation is a HARD PROBLEM<br /> - don&#039;t write your own solution<br /> - find one that works well enough<br /> - you can use an outside library, but better to use things included<br /> <br /> Your date format can be very restrictive, it doesn&#039;t have to be general<br /> - but you should then probably adjust the interface to make these restrictions clear<br /> <br /> Any answer asking &quot;how would I&quot; should be detailed enough that someone reading it could easily code a solution<br /> - so you probably want code fragments<br /> - but also with explanations for the code fragments, what they do<br /> <br /> TAs will be having their office hours and tutorials this week<br /> - T3 &amp; T4 checkoffs must be finished by the end of tomorrow<br /> - TAs will be around to answer questions you have on the material, T5<br /> <br /> A static server just means that it serves files rather than code-generated content.<br /> <br /> dynamic content is generated by code, generally by looking things up in a database.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
