On the quiz, when I type in the correct answer for questions 2 and 4, it's saying I'm getting the wrong answer.

These are fill in the blank questions and when I type in the correct answer, it says "bummer!", so when I tried the wrong answer, it still says "bummer!" This is for the Fundamentals of Computer Languages quiz.

Well the fill in the blank Qs work great on my end. Do you have a typo? Answers in lowercase? What you need to know is that higher-level programming means "human readable" which is really an abstraction over lower-level (less-human-readable) code. So as a consequence, the higher-level languages take longer to run and take more memory as well as there is more code in between you and the machine. Hope that helps!

Thank you for the reply. I'm new to this website and am still learning how to use it. I realized, thanks to another fill-in-the-blank question, I wasn't filling it out correctly. I was submitting my answer after only filling in one blank assuming it would take me to the next box to fill in-- not realizing I just needed to click the next box and submit the whole thing. Silly mistake. Thanks again!
