[Tutor] please help me

[Luke Paireepinart]

Please reply on-list unless you really need to speak to me off-list.
Use "reply-all" to reply to everyone.

Tutor doesn't work in that you get one of us as a tutor and we help you with
every problem you have.  For this mailing list you e-mail us a specific
problem and everyone collaborates to guide you through it.  When we say
"specific problem" we mean "you have coded a solution that looks to you like
it would work but it doesn't and you're stuck" and then we'll help you
figure out why you're stuck and what you need to do to fix the program.

(P.S. Sorry for the top-post, I'm not sure how to reply in-line to a
forwarded message.)

[snip homework]



please help me


This is a tutor mailing list.  Tutor means we will help you learn, not that
we will write your homework assignments for you for free.  That is the
opposite of learning.

Try all of the programs.  Give us what you have tried and what didn't work,
why you thought it would work, why you think it didn't work, and anything
else helpful (eg. if you get an error message include the whole traceback,
don't paraphrase it.)

In other words, if you don't have code that you've tried and a specific
problem you're having, you're not going to get a reply.  We're busy people,
make it easy for us to help you.

-Luke
