Caution
The goal of self-assessment is to gauge your mastery of the topics in this chapter. If you do not know the answer to a question or are only partially sure of the answer, you should mark that question as wrong for purposes of the self-assessment.
Giving yourself credit for an answer you incorrectly guess skews your self-assessment results and might provide you with a false sense of security.
