I don't intend to sound sarcastic but the class abstract says:

	It assumes some familiarity with basic programming concepts 
	like variables, assignment statements, loops, and functions.

I'd stress the "basic programming concepts".

We didn't expect we needed to stress in the assignment that if you 
reach the end of input, you will not end up in an infinite loop.
