In one of my higher-level computer classes, our professor assigned three problems out of our textbook. They were at the end of chapter 11: problems 21, 22, and 23. The format the book’s author chose to label their problems was chapter number, dash, and then problem number.
So, when my professor wrote the assignment on the board, he simply wrote, “Do the following problems: 11-21, 11-22, and 11-23.”
At the end of class, I came up to his desk with a notebook sheet with my name, date, and the answers to the problems. I had simply written: “-10, -11, -12”
He laughed. I still had to do the real problems.
