Olive Branch to Newbies

Over the last 17 years, we've been bombarded by new programmers wanting us to help them with their homework. In the past, I've been loath to participate in such transactions, but recently had a change of heart. In the interest of extending a helping hand to homework requestors, I've decided to help in any way I can, starting with this Q/A question. How I can create a class with array[^] I think the key here is to give them the code using features of the language that they haven't yet been taught. EDIT======================= I don't understand the 1-vote(s) - I gave him exactly what he asked for (a 4x6 array of players), and even updated my answer to provided the required info from the collection (average height/weight, tallest/heaviest user, and a list of players shorter than 70kg). EDIT======================= He accepted my solution. God I wish I could be there when the instructor sees it.

It wouldn't surprise me that this code shows up again in a future article. The student, so cocky due to his good grade, will submit it as his own. :-D
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.
I updated my answer to fulfill his requirements. I wonder if he'll turn it in that way... Even better, I wonder how his instructor will respond, given the somewhat advanced nature of the code. If he can't build a simple array, how is he going to defend his use of generics and Linq? I'd love to be a fly on the wall to see it (mostly because it would be hard to identify me among all the other flies that are no doubt on the wall).

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013I taught Computer Science for two years. I had students regularly turn on code that they got off the internet somewhere. As soon as I saw it I would hold a Code Review in front of the whole class and have the student come up in front and explain their code. They only every did that once.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

I'm not convinced this is going to happen in this case. :)

Don't let your mind wander too far. It's too small to be let out alone.

Actually, his example is an array of 6 players with four properties. Which of course makes it even more desirable to be there when the instructor sees it. :)

Extra points awarded for such clever pseudo-Indian names. Reetard, Dumass, Numnuts... I think I went to college with these guys.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013My first job out of school was at Hewlet Packard Data Systems Division in Cupertino CA. Where I repaired 21MX computers. That machine was user micro programmable, you could add your own instructions on the fly. I met a guy going to Foothill College that had a homework assignment to add a string operation instruction to the 21MX and didn't have a clue. So I told him I would write the microcode but I would only give it to him if he could explain to me, after I tutored him, how it worked - each and every line of code. I wrote "professional quality code" that would take an interrupt in the middle of running and continue where it left off when the interrupt handler completed. The guy learned it well. He later told me he got an A+ with extra credit on the assignment. The instructor did ask him to explain it to the class and gave him the A+ for the code and extra credit for finding "the only guy in silicon valley who could have written that code". I think there were a few others who could have done it. But I got to tech more than one guy a dying art. In my career, I designed more than one micro coded machines, I even help with the processors that flew on the Galileo. It is sad that very few get to experience writing micro code.

How does that help him?
new Player(){ID=118, Height=random.Next(155,180), Name="Numnuts", Weight=random.Next(63,80)}
You missed out the "b" in "Numbnuts", such sloppy work might cost him his grade. Please give him the proper codes, it's urgent.

A bit of toy code I wrote about five years ago in response to some question or another on here is called NumNuts -- one of many classes that "converts between numbers and words". ;P
