You should re-read the guidelines I noted in my post. If you don't meet
those guidelines, you can expect all sorts of abuse on this or any other
technical newsgroup from those of us who firmly believe that education
cannot take place by having other people do your work for you.

You have posted no code and you have no specific questions. Just a general
plea for help. We all have "real" jobs to do so we are not in the business
of being tutors or teachers. (You should be able to get that kind of help
from your school.) The kind of question you posted is typical of students
who are looking for someone to hand them a working program instead of help
solving problems - anticipate abuse for that sort of thing.

Look over your homework as you have it now and try to figure out what it is
you *don't* know how to do. Post a piece of your code that is not working.
Be specific about what computer you are working on, what operating system
you are using and what compiler you are using. We are more than happy to
look over some reasonably small chunk of code with specific questions in
mind and try to get you an answer to your problems. We do not have time to
pour over thousands of lines of code to try to figure out what it is you
aren't doing correctly. Be *specific* and you will get help. (Your subject
line is a good indication that you are *not* being specific - you have no
particular question in mind so you won't get help. Repost something with a
subject line like "How do I perform I/O for integers?" with an example of
what you have attempted & I'll bet you'll get all sorts of help.)

BTW: Isn't there a FAQ somewhere for this newsgroup that specifically
pointed these things out to students?
