If I’m in engineering class and assigned to make a miniature bridge and instead I hand in a photo of a wooden bridge, have I done the work assigned?

If you are assigned to make a program that does a function then you should make a program that does that function, not send a photo of the code that would do that as a screen shot from your phone. If I were a teacher I would assume they didn’t even type it, just copy and pasted it from someone else.
