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 :-)

"The following is obsolete, please rewrite with the newer technique:

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'

Lua translates to luam in latin.

It is an acceptance exam for my group. I forgot to block replies.
