Hi doc

you are right it was library... and in 1st question of same section was it Pittens or Bittens ???

M almost sure about the answers of section 1 and 4, but not about section 2 and 3 as they were complicated and all alphabets.

[drspp92]

I think so

[drspp92]

map question was good

[candy07]

I guess I got Bittens wrong.. and m not sure what I answered in map... lets see ...
