OK,  I see that after my note,  you made a progress in half-step.

My next question is:  What is  "O.8"  in your post ?

Does it mean "0.8" ?


Do you distinct  0  (zero)  and  "capital  O"  ?

Comment from student :   oh sorry,  O.B was actually  0.8.

My response :   O-o-o (!)   It is just much better.
