OK I'll be honest

OK I'll be honest the problem I posted was for a piece coursework for university. But still any help will be appreciated. I'v attached the full coursework spec, in case anybody did not understand the problem.

Thanks

Personally there's nothing wrong asking questions about university work as long as you do the following:

1.) Don't expect someone to do it for you
2.) Describe what you've done so far, why you think it should work, and what it's doing wrong
3.) If possible keep all discussions in pseudocode (unless you're troubled by a syntax error) that way you can discuss algorithms without people feeling like they're just giving you code.
4.) Try to mention that it's a homework problem up front. That way if people don't want to help, or feel it should be your teacher helping you they don't feel 'tricked'. (there's no need to mention this in the title, but somewhere near the beginning of the body)

For the record your last post was fine, you weren't asking for code, you threw out your thoughs and recoginzed that they weren't right (although you didn't quite know why) and you re-stated the problem into your own words.

PS -- Others may disagree with me on this matter, but as long as you post its for homework those that disagree can just choose not to respond.
