    You’ve got the part about writing INSTRUCTIONS to the elevator here, JReggie. Some of your instructions would make sense to a non-sentient elevator, but, for example, the elevator will have no IDEA whether someone is waiting to get on, has already gotten on, wants to get off, changed her mind, etc.

    The elevator will not extrapolate from examples to create rules for itself. You need to spell out the rules as GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS and identify the EXCEPTIONS to the rules also in general terms.

    Some examples in no particular order:

    —In response to any CALL button, PROCEED to that floor and OPEN the doors.
    —You have three modes: AT REST, GOING UP, GOING DOWN.
    —When you are GOING DOWN, IGNORE any GOING UP requests.

    See what I mean?

    Provisionally graded out of gratitude for your contributions to the project and your effort. You may still earn a Regrade by transforming your descriptions of elevator operations into INSTRUCTIONS written for the elevator (as if the Elevator were your reader and needed to be told how to operate).
