@2woodsway - Why don't you actually try to do your homework, instead of posting it here and getting someone else to do it for you? That's neither the point of this forum, nor making you any smarter.

I hope that you tried it first, then posted is since you couldn't figure it out. I think Greenfoot should have something somewhere that tells people that if they are helping someone with homework, they should not just give them the answer. What's they saying? Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for life. Make sure they understand why you do what you tell them.

@delmar, why don't you stop judging and assuming? Did it ever occur to you that this was the question to a test I failed in which I was looking for the correct asnwer so I could learn and understand where I went wrong? Did it ever occur to you that I was not just trying to get an answer for homework but was trying to understand where I went wrong? If you do not want to help I clearly understand. However, please refrain from your erroneous assumptions as this is insulting to someone who is utilizing every single resource to actually learn java. What's that saying? If you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all?

Yes it was. Instead of just being okay with getting the question wrong, I wanted to learn where my error occured to strengthen my weakness. Not everyone is looking for a free handout on homework...just some guidance from our fellow collegues who have more experience. As opposed to getting ridiculed erroneously from those who forgot what it was like to struggle to understand something that seemed foreign to them.

@2woodsway If you wanted help and understand where you went wrong, then surely the best thing to do is to post your attempt at the problem so we can tell you and explain to you exactly where you went wrong? Or nudge you in the right direction. Or would it hurt to explain some context behind why you're asking the question? If you're posting a question like the above without any explanation, your attempt, context etc. then at best it looks lazy, at worst it looks downright suspicious.

> Yes it was. Yeah, right. Just like this person here who also, I am sure, just wanted to check his own test answer and, by mere chance, had the question text at hand to cut and paste, and also had no questions to ask about it. If you just want the answer to your homework, use Google.

@2woodsway I agree that it's good of you to try to learn where you made your mistakes, that's great. I think that the question just was worded in a way that made it seem shifty, and a lot of people today (sadly) seem to just ask for answers. If you're trying to learn from your mistakes, just move forward knowing that these guys didn't know who you were and assumed that you were just being lazy. I have to agree with their initial thoughts, seeing just a question made it seem like a copy and paste thing. I'm sure they would've been very happy to answer if you started with something like "I tried -Code- for this question, but got the answer wrong. What did I do wrong?". Just some context that was left out that made things confusing :D. Good luck with your programming future!
