Why? The whole purpose of computers is to avoid having to do that! :-)

Yeah, but the whole point of computer science class is to learn how the computers do it. The point of asking for help with your homework being learning how to cheat your way through life. Can't seem to learn that early enough these days.

    The best lesson you'll learn is that you can't cheat your way through life.

    You might make it through college that way, but then reality will bite.

    And if you haven't learnt the lesson by then, you soon will, but it'll be too late.

    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    Hi, I am the original poster. This is not the homework, and only for learning purpose. I am not in school either from many years.

      Pardon our suspicions. We get a lot of posters who show up and anonymously as us to solve problems that turn out to be homework. Why not sign in and become a member of the Monastery? (It's easier to trust someone if you know who they are as well.)

        I was user at one point, but plain-text password hacking problem has removed my old password and I do not recall the original email address that I may have used before 7+ years, to get my password back.
