 My question is, what even is the FILE type? I get it's a pointer to a file, but what is it? Is it a type alias for something else? Just... what is it? My question is, what even is the FILE type?

 +Welp. I did get Joe with a meme, but it resulted in him pulling up the Bitmap standard... and this was the day after break. He's been talking about the Bitmap standard for a 24-bit Bitmap since the end of spring break.
 +
 +Terminals plead for mercy. PNGs and JPEGs run off scared. The C standard is somewhere hiding off in a corner. Joe eagerly looks at the Bitmap standard.

 +Lol ok so I'm done describing that in any greater sort of detail. However, I got the grade figure-outer-er script done rather quickly and found a bug in it where it would just give me the days they logged in instead of the nice "1"s and "0"s from the example, so I guess that all works out :)

-This week's project entails making sense out of digital sleeping brain wave data. So far, my challenge lies within automating this task, since there are tens of thousands of packets to look through and examine. +This week's project entails making sense out of digital sleeping brain wave data.

 +I couldn't quite do an entry or finish my March 22 one as my PuTTY connection was super laggy and I may have forgotten. Either way, the UNIX project is super difficult for me, because ''bc'' is a pain in the butt to work with, considering every other thing it outputs is ''syntax error''
 + 
 +I wish this was an April Fool's day prank. It isn't. Nobody knows how to do this project. And it's due in an hour. I don't even have a method to analyze individual data packets, let alone get data for the huge mass of them. 
 + 
 +I know some of the bytes are simply going in sequential order as if they were part of a C script's output, but not all of them are. A lot of it is simply wild guessing and hoping it works until it doesn't and then you sit for about five hours and accomplish nothing. 
 + 
 +Technically speaking, I need help with this one.

 +I never got udr2 all the way done to the point where I can pull up and analyse the data in a timely and efficient manner. I didn't quite know how to go about doing that sort of logic. I'm guessing calculus already fried that part of my brain into a nice toasty bacon. 
 + 
 +The gfo script was extremely easy, though. It was simply modifying the output of a script. I may have broken the rule that says "each line should be less than 80 characters in width," but the thing not only satisfies the bonus requirements, but it even color-codes the results for an even quicker overview. 
 + 
 +I think I did good, finally.
