Ambiguous instructions, guess work to pass (House Prices - Week 1 assignment)

[jtlz2]

Great course so far - thank you! - but:

It is unclear from the instructions for House Prices whether the output must be in units of hundreds of thousands, or not. Please be crystal clear!

To get a pass on my fifth attempt(!), I had to (by trial and error):

1. Comment out last two lines of javascript
2. Add "hundreds of thousands" to the print statement

Surely surely surely - in this day and age - the function and prediction should be evaluated programatically??? i.e. unit-tested by the "grader" and the prediction assessed as being within some tolerance?

Sorry to hear about that. But it takes a few seconds to understand the underlying meaning here:

hundreds of thousands which means '100,000'

And so you just need to output the single number only.
I hope this clears the issue.

It was not clear to me either, if the function should return 400000 or 4 for input 7 for example.
