I am auditing a c++ programming class and was wondering if anyone had any tips on this http://www.mcs.uvawise.edu/cae/cosc181/homework/hw8.php

[standard help on homework answer]
1) write out the program in your native language, aka pseudo-code
2) "translate" it to C++
3) come back with specific questions, once you've actually started writing the code

I almost ignored this thread completely because the title is so uninformative. Don't be surprised if I'm not the only one.

I only looked to see what nugget of wisdom I might gain from Narue.
Rules.
Smart questions.
How to Post a Question.

>i would like to program it from scratch in C++ any tips
Well, you'd start by learning C++. Then you'd write the program. Finally, you'd turn it in. Simple, no?

The only reason I didn't ignore it is because I wanted to make this comment.

Help! is the absolute dumbest way to try and get help... seriously though learn to be a little more descriptive with your thread titles.

Since this is an assignment from a school, I assume that you are taking a class, in which case there is a Teaching Assistant available for this help. I don't want to be a douchebag and say, "I'm not going to teach you C++, because I'm better than you", but an on-line forum lacks the communication and interaction to achieve this goal. Check with your institution, and your professor for this kind of help.

To the rest of the posters. Please don't post stupid comments that have nothing to do with the actual question, I understand that "Help!" might not be the best title, but if you have nothing useful to say, please don't say anything. It just floods the board, and makes it so people like me, that actually enjoy helping people that are new, don't post here for 6+ months. Stop re-enforcing the stereotype of board members who are mean to new people just because they are not quite familiar with the subject matter or the specific board rules. Remember that you were there once as well.

>Please don't post stupid comments that have nothing to do with the actual question
There isn't a question. It's a classic "here's my homework, hold my hand" thread.

>but if you have nothing useful to say, please don't say anything
There's nothing useful to say in this thread. I guess we should just report the it and have it removed. Then at least the OP will be mystified as to why his "question" was deleted without warning instead of insulted because we flamed him after he failed to read our rules.

>Stop re-enforcing the stereotype of board members who are mean to new

Stop re-enforcing the misconception that every clueless yahoo can post his homework and get a "useful" answer despite breaking half of the specific board rules.

>Remember that you were there once as well.
No, I had to figure everything out on my own. I had to do research to find my answers. I had to be creative and write test programs to see how things worked. I had to reverse engineer my tools to get inside knowledge of them. I didn't have the internet in any useful fashion to get instant gratification for my questions. I was never "there". These guys who get everything handed to them on a silver platter (and expect it too!) get no sympathy from me, because I worked hard to get where I am.

That is exactly why I wasn't expecting any more comments after my initial one.
and sorry I forgot, you, and everybody else here comprise the top 5% of MENSA's member list.
