7. Tell Us A Story Of One Of Your Adventures While Pursuing This Dive (At This Level).
In one of my Leetcode problems, I used "||" sign for the OR operation and "&&" for AND operation. The program keeps reporting errors and I have checked over and over again and can't find what's wrong. Until one of my friends came over and asked me what "||" and "&&" meant, I then realized the OR and AND operations are different.
After I corrected the syntax, the program ran correctly!
