263 PointsMethod is not similar as this video but the result is the same.
Even though I have same result as expected, the method or technique for this did not go exactly as expected. My question is, is it Ok if i can achieve the same result but a different approach. I wanted to do exactly as this video says but at some stages i had to come with an alternative. So what's your thoughts?

6,962 PointsEhsan, this is totally cool. I just had notepad++ open. It is great to know we are using the app, it's good for comparing code. I think your code is legit and I agree with Dylan. It was great trying to help. Good luck on your learning.

24,861 PointsThere are always multiple ways to solve most coding problems. I think it's okay if you're coming up with your own solution as long as you understand or can explain why you are doing it the way you chose over the way it's done in the video. Hope that helps
Ehsan Raza
263 PointsYep I thought so. Thanks.
