Hi, this is referring to the clarifications page of the project. At the bottom of the page, we are told to focus on a couple questions. One of these questions is: How will success and failures be communicated? I was just wondering what is meant by success and failures? Is it talking about success and failures as in a journey was or was not able to be found or in the sense of a web browser attempting to transmit a request to a station server. Could someone please elaborate? Thanks

The project requires two or more programs to communicate across a network. If all goes well - great! - and the successes will be the correct/meaningful results. But a number of things can go wrong - network messages not delivered, invalid requests misunderstood, an incorrect algorithm to answer queries, an incorrect implementation of even a working algorithm, there not being a solution to a query within the data (the timetables) - all very 'standard' problems for any software project. Your project should anticipate and detect these errors and report them 'back' to who/whatever made the original request (here, via a web-browser).
