The exam was pretty easy, but some questions were a little unfair. The first one was just confusing, cause your can technically do linear search from both ends, giving two answers, but they were both a choice in the multiple choice. Aren't they both correct?

Also, the data type for the money is unfair for vce students since it's common knowledge in the industry you can't use floating point numbers in finance due to their inaccuracy under the hood. A technical answer would be like a big decimal or something, but from the study design you might as well put string to remain technically correct. I ended up putting an array of ints. What do you guys think?
