    This program is great. It introduced to me swiftly the power of OOP with Java and the different concepts around it. Well done guys, from Instructors, to Mentors and to Reviewers.

    It was a bit challenging to meet the requirements and also to find an implementation that is different than those hosted online to not be accused of "plagiarism". other than that the reviewers, submitting and reviewing process was very fantastic.
