Good work!

For the final step of this assignment:

1. Open up the “Files changed” tab of this pull request.
2. Open up my own solution to the homework so that you can compare the two (perhaps in a separate browser tab or window): https://github.com/mac-comp381/wordy/compare/solution

Walk through the two solutions, comparing one small chunk of code at a time. Things to think about as you go:

• What differences do you notice? What similarities?
• Sometimes one way is clearly better than another. Sometimes there are tradeoffs. Sometimes two ways are both perfectly fine, and it’s just a matter of taste. If you notice a difference, it doesn’t mean your way is wrong! It just means there are multiple approaches. Notice the difference between “oh, wow, Paul’s way / my way is clearly better” versus “Yup, that’s fine too.”
• Some of my solution uses Java language features we never cover in 127 and 128. What differences are because of those features, versus taking a different approach with building blocks you already knew about?
• Are there lots of differences in your code that aren’t there at all in mine? Are they because of (1) debug output left in your code, (2) commented-out or dead code you didn’t fully delete, or (3) reformatting that had nothing to do with the task at hand? When you’re on a team, it’s best to avoid committing any of those three things.

Now, to complete the assignment:

Write a brief note about one or two things that stood out to you as you compare the two solutions.

You can ask a question, or just name something notable. Post these comments here in this comment thread and/or as comments on individual lines of your code in the “Files changed” tab.

I wanted to use case/switch! After quickly Googling it though (I'm only vaguely familiar with it), I thought it could only be used for integers, and I didn't search any further. Also, var was in BlockNode! I didn't even know you could do that in Java!
