Not so beginner friendly #14

The beginners are told to enter commands for every single parameter while more advanced users are told they are actually optional. Wouldn't this be harder for the beginners to use? they have to know every parameter and how it works, only then can they start using it. might be too troublesome for them to continue using.

Team's Response

Based on our experience with the CELC teachers, we are told that the concept of optional parameters is very confusing for someone with no programming background. E.g. Training wheels are optional too but they are necessary for beginners.

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: As is the case with design issues, i can see why they are right and wrong as well. for example, if a beginner does not want something to be recurring how does that happen? or if there's no deadline, what happens? the more inputs needed from the user, the more effort he/she has to put in.
