Did you choose your methods well? Avoid the following pitfalls:

• Does the same println statement occur more than once in your code?
• Are there any println statements in the main method?
• Is your main method a good summary of the overall program? (If main is only 1-2 lines long, it is not a good summary.)
• Do you have any patterns of method calls that are repeated in the code?

Compare your method choice with your neighbor's. Discuss any different decisions you made and ask a TA if you have questions about them.
