Am I cheating? Workspace & Challenges

So I am working through the Java course (half way through data structures), and a concern has hit me.

When I am completing a code challenge I often (not always, but often) refer to the Workspace I still have open.

Have I been cheating? Does this mean I am lagging behind the course? Or is this an accepted part of the process?

Hi Paul,

Referring to the work you have done that the challenge is trying to reinforce is absolutely not cheating, no. It'll help you see the concepts from different contexts and perspectives, which is a great learning tool.

Steve.
