Well it is not so obvious that you should find it hard :-)
Here is my advice. I think you may be trying to start coding
too early, before you have a real understanding of what
a program is all about. I would recommend spending more
time studying some existing examples, and make sure that
you really really understand them well. You may also find
it helpful to go through one of the online tutorials at
www.adapower.com.

Make sure you study some examples of the use of arrays and
subscripts.

The point here is that you should try to get to the point
where the assignment seems reasonably straightforward. It
is just too difficult for anyone to write any program if
they do not understand things well enough :-)

Good luck!
