: for the map function lookup which returns dataType given a key, what should we return if the key is not found? do we return a preassigned dataType which corresponds to a notFound? (i hope that last sentence makes sense) any help is appreciated, thanks.
Well, you should go for the most robust code possible. Consider adding 37 assert statements, try/catch statements using the baz2.1+ class, and have it done by 11:59P tonight. Maybe I'll consider allowing an extension on your next project, however.
