The results of the final exam. (answer paper)
Each multiple choice question (select one or more answer choices) is worth 4 points, and each question has four choices. You get -2 points whenever your choice is different from the correct answer, until the score of this question reaches 0. For example, if the correct answer is BE: Selecting only B earns 2 points. Selecting BC results in a score of 0 points.
Final exam results are expected to be announced on January 2.

It is recommended to first understand the common mistakes and their causes mentioned above before starting the assignment. If you don't understand them, there is a high probability that your program output will also be incorrect.
Copy the program output to notepad.exe, select the font 'Courier New' (the purpose is to make the characters display with equal width), then select all and highlight it. This way, you can check if there are any extra spaces.
