what about "1" ? ( and, aamof, I used may times an empty .com file in
CP/M and msdos, it does nothing sometimes and others restart the last
loaded program ).

I was taught programming at 12 years ( which was early in spain in 77
), well before school splits in science/letters ( as we call it in
spain ) and certainly well before university level.

That being said, student, ok, but medicine/lawyers, those are smarter,
but it's going to be hard, they tend to think they are smarter than
everyone else ( I have dealt with both ).
