In the workspace that opens for this video (as well as in the previous video), the first student object has numbers, but the rest of the student objects, the numbers are strings?

It's fine that they are mixed data types for this project because you're not doing any manipulation on the number values. If you were doing number manipulation, it would change your code up, but since you're just accessing the values stored and concatenating them to strings, it's fine that they are mixed data types. Although, it is a bit weird that the first set are numbers and the rest are strings lol

15,719 PointsThank you, Victoria, and I agree with you that it was just something they forgot to go back and check.

15,719 PointsThank you, Victoria! :) I am 99% of the time very nice on here, but there have been a few people who push my buttons on here. I find it's hard to ignore them when they try to discredit what I say when I'm not wrong in my answer. Whenever I'm wrong, I admit fault and am not negative about having criticism directed against me. Even when I was a moderator, I revoked when I was chosen for best answer a few times when someone came in and gave a better solution or proved me wrong.
The reason why I tell you all this is because there are a handful of threads where I don't have the nicest tone after being called out for a reason I can't explain. I need to work on staying nice after dealing with certain types of people for sure lol :P

14,760 PointsSome people are just plain haters and can't be pleased no matter what you do. So, don’t worry about them and please continue helping others! :)
