Reserved keywords #307

Open deladan opened 6 years ago

deladan commented 6 years ago

Several learners reported that reserved keywords weren't mentioned in the do's and don't codecast about naming variables, and failed the quiz (https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:Dartmouth_IMTx+DART.IMT.C.01+1T2018/courseware/ccf660cc6a1141e0a9bebfc515ce320a/486dacf4bd094519afe1c91af2e17fee/5?activate_block_id=block-v1%3ADartmouth_IMTx%2BDART.IMT.C.01%2B1T2018%2Btype%40discussion%2Bblock%40cbacb57afab143ec93b53e6c5a1a8551) Maybe something to explain in the course?

Or encouraging learners to try themselves the declarations in the sandbox before answering?

@remisharrock We could either update the codecast or list beneath the existing codecast ALL actual rules for variable names.

There are other learners complaining about this tricky question. I think Petra suggestion to display all rules is a good idea, and shouldn't easier to implement.
