ESTIMATE OF # OF HOURS SPENT ON THIS ASSIGNMENT:  10 hr


MISC. COMMENTS TO GRADER:
(optional, please be concise!)


## Reflection and Self Assessment

Discuss the issues you encountered during development and testing. What
problems did you have? What did you have to research and learn on your
own? What kinds of errors did you get? How did you fix them?

What parts of the assignment did you find challenging? Is there anything that
finally "clicked" for you in the process of working on this assignment? How well
did the development and testing process go for you?

The progress of the entire project has been a bit bumpy. Parsing JSON hasn't 
been an issue, but there were some troubles with backslashes. The most 
annoying part was the statistics for the total relpy, which due to poor 
design made it difficult for me to implement. In the end, I had to 
rewrite the comment class, which in turn altered the logic of other 
parts; it was really troublesome.
