Programs should be correct, efficient, and readable as you learned in CS courses. READABLE READABLE: Add all required and meaningful comments (don’t write a novel), use indentation and meaningful variable names (i.e., total instead of t), etc. EFFICIENT EFFICIENT: Think carefully for a faster method y rather than using brute force. CORRECTNESS CORRECTNESS: Incorrect programs are useless! CORRECTNESS CORRECTNESS: Incorrect programs are useless!
