701 PointsAutomatic code completion is mentioned in a quiz but not in the video. Did I miss it and what is it?
On the quiz about text editing and external style sheets it asks about automatic code completion. I watched the video several times but did not see it. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Automatic code completion is a feature of most Text Editors and IDEs. Basically, as you are typing out the code, it will offer up smart suggestions on what it believes you are typing. For example, if you have a really long-named variable, as you begin to type it out, the completion would show up and you just hit enter.
If you're using an IDE, many of the functions and methods will show up as completion options as you start to type the first few letters of the names.
As you move forward with your learning, this will make much more sense. In short, it saves time and helps out when the methods, variables, etc have really hard-to-remember-exactly names. :)
Keep Coding!
