NEED HELP WITH A PROGRAM....ANYONE PLEASE HELP!

[Frank Silvermann]

Or university students, for that matter. I get the feeling that the
guy did not actually write the code that was "his attempt so far".

well thanks for your help....i appreciate it! you are right, this code
is getting more and more complex everytime i change something to it.
The only reason I came here for help is because my teacher assingned
this question

You see, you withheld vital information. You should have told us what
the exact assignment was.

Ok, you mention the assignment I see, but where did this mess of code
from? The teacher didn't assign you to modify this code and make it fit
that problem. You were assigned to write a solution, and that's what
we've been telling you. Scrap this code, wherever you got it, start
from the beginning and write it piece by piece. We will assist in this.

(Please don't prefix your own text with ">"; it makes it look like
you're quoting someone else, and can lead to significant confusion.)

Yes, a quick look at groups.google.com indicates that you did post the
original problem statement. Quite possibly a lot of people didn't pay
much attention; questions of the form "Here's my homework assignment;
help me!" with no attempt to solve the problem tend not to be taken
seriously.

The only reason I came here for help is because my teacher assingned
this question without even teaching us the chapter and now he went on
vacation. I have to do this program in order to pass the class. Also
teachers in Ontario Canada went on strike for three weeks during school
year. That messed up the entire schedule for students and now we have
to cover topics on our own.

They were back from the strike on 27 March. It's now June. The winter
semester ended 28 April. Your faculty is on vacation until mid-August, but
the summer semester (now) has its own faculty teaching courses. WTF?

If you can't learn the very simple task of posting a Usenet article in such
a way that it is easy and pleasant to read, it would be a good idea to pick
a discipline less difficult than programming. Marketing springs to mind.
Or, since you seem to prefer heaping abuse on others, perhaps management is
your cup of tea.

You know, the guy *did* stipulate somewhere along the way (not
necessarily in the original posting, although one could probably have
read it between the lines even there) that he's not a programmer, has no
desire to be one, and really doesn't give a sh*t about this program. He
was forced to take the class, and just wants to pass the class, so he
can graduate, so he can get the g*d da**ed piece of paper to hang on his
wall.

Now, I know that these are not legitimate goals, by the lights of the
so-called "regulars" in this group. And I know, from long experience,
that you guys will never accept these as valid goals. But it does seem
like you might work on acting just a little bit less surprised when you
run into people who have (only) these sorts of goals.
