What is this exam even for?
I could get every single answer just by Google, and you mix in random Java and Assembly and computer science with RBX.Lua????
Try harder little boy :-)

I think he just wants us to do his maths homework for him... And the questions are easy anyway. |

if x.ClassName == "Part" then print("What fun") end
That... Is not obsolete.

Not obsolete, because IsA includes superclasses. If you only care about a specific Class you use .ClassName.
If you're going to make an entrance exam to scripting groups please at least realize the purpose of everything you're trying to teach. |

LOL JUST REALIZED THAT THIS IS WEEWOO
HOW DOES THAT NOT SURPRISE ME
ps. maybe he chose 'obsolete' as the wrong word but he probably wants this:
if x:IsA("BasePart") then ...
because wedges and cornerwedges don't have the class name 'Part'

I honestly do not remember the last time I used .ClassName in a script.

Lua translates to luam in latin.
It is an acceptance exam for my group. I forgot to block replies. |
