    If you didn’t know the answer, it’s a critical thinking exercise? Not at all.

    Answering this question relies completely on understanding programming. A correct answer cannot be reached without an understanding of programming.

      A correct answer cannot be reached without an understanding of programming.

      Yes. It does not follow, though, that knowledge of programming always leads to a correct answer. Since you seem like someone who might appreciate a formal logical description, you are affirming the consequent here.

      Again, without sufficient critical thinking one might just miss the detail that “Monday” is a string and not a custom unit-of-time object, inheriting from Day.
