So? If Johnny has 2 assholes and Jimmy has one? The correct answer is Johnny has only 1 asshole and is pissed off about it. The other is him

This is bullshit, if i did an equation wrong and got the right answer, the whole thing would be wrong, no exceptions

Which shouldn't be marked as a correct answer.. Only shit teachers judge students' performance by the final answer, not the whole proccess

Error carried forward, perhaps?

I always liked that I could get full marks without showing the work since sometimes the methods they teach are long winded and unnecessary

That's why in math the answer isn't the most important.

I've always said this when tutoring math, in algebra and above, the answer is less important than understanding the process.

It's the old adage of crap-in-crap-out - in Mathematics the wrong answer can be arrived at in the right way.

In high school I took remedial math for 3 years. Senior year I had to take IB math, got a 6/7 on exam because my all of my work was right
Gadvance
Engineers may well fight you for that
13thDukeofWybourne
Nope, if your method is wrong, every subsequent answer will be wrong after that 'lucky' right one. Very unhappy customers/colleagues
Gadvance
i was sort of trying to imply both answer and calculation need to be right, since otherwise you're going to make a death machine
13thDukeofWybourne
It needs to be right of course, but the method is more important. Right method, wrong answer: easy to fix. Wrong method: start over

Lucking into the correct answer one time doesn't help you later on when you have to repeat the process.

except in coding this is the exact thing that creates the most difficult to track and problematic bugs...

Until you use the same process in a different scenario and end up with the wrong solution
mechanimated
got the right answer, no one would ever know (usually) because people only care when stuff is broken. /2
mechanimated
I mean in the most technical sense, the answer being wrong is causing the issue, not the method you got it by. If your wrong technique /1
causality
Except it's still the answer that matters, innit.
JamesProton
...um no because you got the wrong one and have to figure out why..
GrizzlyWicks
because the answer was wrong because its the answer that matters if you always get it right in the end who cares how you get there
