On the job, his solution however implemented as long as the result is as expected would be fine but its different when you're in a classroom, concepts that are being taught must be use in a correct manner, period. The student must realize that in a classroom setting that the output is just secondary to how it is implemented (but like I said, on the job, its the other way around). A further example on the differences of "reality" vs. the classroom setting is, we're used to be told in class that copying somebodys work was BAD and you shall not earn merit in doing so and that we should always be ORIGINAL, while its funny how in the work place and as best practices always purports -we should REUSE, REUSE and REUSE, don't reinvent the wheel! Oh what a paradox.

if it's the other way around, the code structure was correct, but there's no output or the output's incorrect - this happens to me most of the time.

A correct program for me is something that complies with the requirement it is specified to accomplish. This requirement would be relative to the context of usage of the program, whether for academic or business purposes.

to add, a correct program is a program that gives no BS, plainly, it works first and foremost, modifications and beautifications on the code follows next.
