This newsgroup is like any other language or computer science
newsgroup.  We do not do students' homework for them.  A newbie who is
unwilling to learn will only get the kind of answers above.  A newbie
who shows interest will receive very detailed answers.

So, to all students: if you cannot be bothered to learn, I cannot be
bothered to help you.  If on the other hand, you are genuinely
interested in learning, I will go out of my way to help you.

This is the general attitude here, not just mine.
