Description

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that the test for the answer to Ex 3.5 in Hw1 doesn't appear to be working properly. I get a correct answer for the following (obviously wrong) code:

function noisify(x::Number, s)
	rand_num = rand()
	noisy_num = x + rand_num
	noisy_num = clamp(noisy_num, 0., 1.)
	return noisy_num
end

Afraid I'm not not sure how to fix it though.

Start by locating the Hw1 Ex 3.5 answer test and reproducing it with the shown noisify implementation. Inspect why this incorrect implementation passes; done means the test rejects it while accepting correct answers.
