Team's Response

Thanks for the feedback.

This was an unintended feature, as the parser seems to be able to convert the literal '11.d' into a float of 11.0. Hence, '1.a' wasn't accepted. For reference, please refer to the link below.

We have accepted your report, but have moved the severity to VeryLow.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue severity

Team chose [severity.VeryLow] Originally [severity.Medium]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: the severity shouldnt be low as this affects the function of the program due to the wrong input. Take note that very low only applies to cosmetic issues bases on the instructions.

It should be medium severity as it can cause occasional inconvenience to users as they might not want to enter 11.0 when they accidentally types 11.d.
