Assignment
The link below is to a near-copy of the assignment you’ve been working on, but with some instructions for adding objects. It’s not really a “new” assignment, but crteating a new assignment seemed like a convenient way to provide the instructions (and a convenient way to provide you with a new working directory if you want to try a different approach).

⭐️EXTRA/TMI
There’s a an awesome article about stacks, which we encounter in a stack trace in our debugging adventures, in Vaidehi Joshi’s BaseCS blog series. It’s not necessary to read this to understand debugging, but if you want some more information about terminology and what’s really happening, it’s great!
