Looks good!

I don't know if there's any more you could say in the advice. I suppose you could, for each graph that it isn't the adjacency matrix of, pick a row that doesn't match and explain why.

Christian Lawson-Perfect on Are these graphs isomorphic? 3 years, 9 months ago

Saved a checkpoint:

I'm uneasy about just showing drawings of the graphs. It's an accessibility problem, and occasionally the auto-layout puts vertices very close to edges, making it hard to see exactly how many edges there are.

Christian Lawson-Perfect commented on R vectors 3 years, 9 months ago

In parts b and d, I'd randomise the values of x and y, so you can't just write down the literal values given in the prompts.

This might be going over and above, but in part d if I answer z <- y>55, I get a vector of booleans. Could you detect that with an alternative?
