Inspiration
When I first heard of the topic, my mind immidetly sprung to the idea of a java program teaching users the basics of java. I thought of it as sort of a joke, but I ended up actually doing it because I thought it was not that bad
What it does
The program is fairly simple. The user is given 3 options, how to declare an int, how to print something out, and how to create an array. After reading a short paragraph, the user is then "quizzed", they are tasked with either declaring their own variable, creating their own print statement, or creating an array.
How we built it

Challenges we ran into
Within the first couple of minutes, i quickly discovered that testing each and every letter the user entered was innifficient, and hard. So I ended up taking 3 seperate approches for each one. For the int, i took the first letter the user entered, and checked to see if it matched the first letter of any primitave data type, then, since the name could be anything, i skipped that, and tested the equals sign. For the print statement, i decided to test one letter every 2 letters. This way i could keep the code short and also catch most mistakes the user makes.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
