    I don't think so, but I don't think it would be against the CoC.

    Then I really think we should do it. if only to give the people that help these /home work trolls/ something to laugh about.

    We could put them in the OP of this thread for examples.

    If anyone finds them, put the link here

    i don't think you should do that. Just ignore the post if you think its homework.

    I am a moderator, and it is not my job to ignore violations of the Code of Conduct. I recommend anyone else to not post, but to report, violations of the Code of Conduct.

    If only we had this "web 2.0" as folks call it back when I was doing CS-related homework. In my day we had to post to USENET for our homework, not to mention walk 9 miles uphill barefoot in a blizzard to the public library to use the computers....


    But seriously, nowadays any possible homework assignment involving programming is solvable with a simple google query. Don't junk up the forum.

    That's not all true, at the moment i have 99.99% completed my assignment it will run through once perfectly fine, but once i add a for(i=0;i<10000;++i) it crashes, how would googling solve it?
    In this case I doubt it would, and forums are a perfect place to get a fresh brain to look at code you have been staring at for 48+ hours and can't see the problem. Many times in class I have had people some even more advanced at coding than me ask me to look at code and within a couple seconds i can see a syntax error or logic error that they could not see after doing all the work and staring at the problem for 3+ hours.

    for(i=1;i==1;i+i-i)
    cout << "^G nothing to see here";

    That's not really what we're talking about here. That is a valid post, because you have done most of the work and you have a specific problem. Homework-related questions aren't forbidden, asking the forum to do your homework is.
    Help yourself: Search the community docs or try other resources.
