+As this is a very simple homework, the use of generative AI (like ChatGPT) is not allowed. We also have access to ChatGPT and we know how to write prompts that can generate the answers to these homework, so it is very easy for us to check when AI was used. We value your words and code with typos or grammar mistakes, and we do not need a polished AI version. This is an opportunity for you to learn, and you won't learn from copy-pasting generated answers. Submissions suspected of being generated by AI will be rejected.
