Great course!
Very, very well presented!

Ajith Singh

Very Good course, but
the test isn't precise enough in its expectation. it should accept both xxxxxx and xxx,xxx result. it is not the case. then if you omit the $ sign in front of the result it also count it wrong. I also believe that the expected result is wrong in question 8.
