	 Is it considered plagiarism if I take code from my previous programs

Thank you for the question.  I am happy to entertain any questions anyone has 
on what constitutes plagiarism.

I assume that your previous program was written by you with no unauthorized 
help.  In that case, sure, code that you wrote for a previous program is yours 
and can be used as you wish for subsequent programs.

Good luck finishing the program.  Good luck on the final exam.
