Are variadics particularly trivial to implement? We decided to add them because they are an actually useful language feature, rather than some novel yet foolish modification that could mar the beauty of Python. Moreover, we're already having enough trouble compiling plain functions (we still can't), so for our skill level, variadics is a big step. Can you recommend a better project you feel we can complete by the deadline? |
I wouldn't call it trivial exactly, but it is pretty straightforward. In your schedule, you give yourselves two weeks to implement this feature, which is the amount of time a homework typically gets, and it is definitely a smaller problem than the homeworks. It's unfortunate that you you don't have functions working yet; that requires you to do extra work before you can even start working on the project, so I can understand why you would be hesitant to take on more. I don't think it is a bad feature to implement, but I wouldn't expect an excellent grade even if you do it perfectly (though I am not involved in the grading process at all). If you have a more concrete and detailed proposal, we might be able to give better feedback about appropriate scope. Most other groups have proposals 2+ pages long. |
Seems a little small. Think about ways you might want to expand the project. Also, your proposal doesn't make it clear if you already basically know how to do variadic functions or not. If you do, this is definitely too small, and even if it something you still have to learn it's not really up to par.
