<div dir="ltr">Integers are great if the postcode is for Australia, it enforces validation right from the data type. As soon as you go international though, postcode should be a string. I think if you added in a sentence about this being Australia only you could get away with it, especially as it provides a good chance for them to do some data validation.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 24, 2017 at 1:18 PM, Vera Cook <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vcook@mscw.vic.edu.au" target="_blank">vcook@mscw.vic.edu.au</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

an integer and am hoping some of my students pick up on that and I will have to fi point 4 and in task 8 it is supposed to indicate making a tic tac toe game it was a good visual design that I found.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

no reason you can</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">’</span><span>t do it as an algorithm, so I did sorting in U3O1 anyway
