This is a simple exercise with dictionaries, and I feel like a good one to introduce the concept of validate input param in powershell.
The acceptable input for the planet parameter is a value in a short list of planets. With validateset, user can just using tab to cycle through the predefined acceptable values or tab-completion their input, behaving like a typical command line. Any other input value will raise an error.
I wonder if that would be enough hint or I should leave and extra comment explain how to set up the ValidateSet part.

Well I see it as ValidateSet isn't required by the exercise you can solve it without, but sure it does look nice. Thereby I don't see an append being needed.

In general, this should be covered by a concept, and this track, and we launched the track over the summer for like 1 month ago and we have got like 350 new students or something. So I think a learning mode for this track can really be good.

My problem is time, I don't really have time, and I am working on 3 other tracks' syllabuses (Swift, Crystal, and Rubys).
So I am all here to support you if you want to create a syllabus, and I could help you with that also. But just as a warning, making a learning mode takes a lot of time and needs a lot of motivation, a lot of people fail just because they have energy at the start but then give up.

Otherwise, if no concept development has started before next summer, so will I maybe start something around June next year but we will see.
