hello Zack,

I did this homework a couple times to make sure that I could do it without help.
I had a problem with the finding the max exercise. I couldn't do it without using the max function. and the code you gave me it wasnt working .., please let me know what id did wrong.

For the combining array exercise, I added an input to it, it works but i was wondering why the user has to put commas in the input when i already used the .split .

thank you,
Marina
