[LCP]thanks

[Bradley, Peter]

Aditya,

You're coming across as though you feel that you can demand (as opposed to solicit) help from this group.

English is my second language, so I'm conscious that sometimes I make a wrong impression because my command of the language is not as good as that of a native speaker.  Maybe this is the case for you.

I think the group needs to know firstly that we are not helping you to cheat.  Some colleges insist that assignments are all your own work.

Secondly, I think the group would like to see how you are considering approaching the problem and what your ideas are - as a sign of good faith, if you like.

I've no right to speak on behalf of the group, so I will stand corrected if I've misinterpreted things.  However, I feel that maybe a barrier of misunderstanding is developing here which needs to be addressed before things get acrimonious.

Thanks for the reply

I had posted this under Linuc/c category because my professor had given me
