Not any more. In view of what Jeff Verdegan has just told you, I have gone back and edited your post. Please remember people learn less by being given a complete answer like that. Your code would not have helped at all, I am afraid.Alexandre Mendes wrote:look at the code. It can Help.
Thank you for noticing.Jeff Verdegan wrote:
Please don't do that. This site is NotACodeMill.(⇐click) Just handing somebody the solution doesn't help him learn. And, as it clearly states on the topics page, "We're all here to learn, so when responding to others, please focus on helping them discover their own solutions, instead of simply providing answers." . . .

Right. Discuss it. In a way that leads the OP to understanding, learning, and solving his own problem. That's very different from just handing him the answer.
Maybe you didn't know, and that's fine, but now you do, so please respect that in the future. Thanks!

In case I didn't make it clear, for the most part, I agree. I believe there are times when a full answer is the best solution, but they are few and far between.

IMO, the OP is probably trying to encourage discussion -- hoping people with the opposite view would jump in.

I agree. Here's the link: http://javaranch.com/programming-pearls.jsp |
