I am only new here, but is really surprising (and saddening) how many people just post up their assignments hoping someone else will do the ALL the work.

As an employer of IT graduates I get to read a lot of CV's an interview a lot of candidates. And to be frank the majority of them are rubbish and it is easy to see why.

It only takes 5 mins in an interview to work out who are the people who 'don't have a clue'. So while you might pass your assignment, by copying the work of others, ultimately you still won't get a good job in IT. The sham will be exposed during the first few interview questions.

For a laugh I ask the computer science graduates how a computer works. I get answers like, 'you push the power button, then type on the keyboard to make it work'. Roughly the same answer a 10 year old would give. Needless to say some of the interviews are very short and end in tears.

So better to either make half an effort to study the material, or give up
now and do someone that is more suited to your skills.

I agree with you.
But, first this isn't my assignment, but a friend's of mine.

She doesn't even know why she should study c++, but she has to.

Even the professor she has tryies to help them but she doesn't have a clue about c++. That's why she is asking for help.

Anyway, it's your call.

Exactly. It's her assignment, not ours. We are not going to do her work for her. We don't get the grade.

No, she's not asking for help. You're asking us to do it for her. That's not help. That's charity.

So, it's a requirement for her to study C++? And you feel that's stupid so it's better to have us do her work? Think again. A requirement is a requirement. If she can't do it, change to a school that doesn't have that requirement.

No, it's her call. Wouldn't be better to have her post, instead of you? After all, who has the problem? Maybe she can follow the rules better than you since she has the code.

I had to do organic and inorganic chemistry to get a degree in computer science (and maths, physics, astronomy and philosophy).

At the time I thought it was dumb, but 20 years on, I don't regret doing it. It is useful from time to time.

Except for philosophy, which really was dumb

All science students should learn some computing IMHO. They'll use it.

"You don't get the grade", "that's charity".
Next thing is to send me your bank account!! I asked for help. Do you know what does the word "help" mean? What am I saying? You are mr smart guy, of course you know.
I didn't make you to do it. I asked from all of you, very very politely i believe, to help me do it.
