Actually, studying a good solution even if you have one of your own is one of the best ways to learn mathematical tricks of the trade, so to speak - just as it&amp;#x27;s a great way to learn coding: one learns from the master (as one should) and not just &amp;quot;from the book.&amp;quot;</text></comment>
