If you want more information than that, though, you're going to have = to
give us more to go on, and show us that you're not just asking us to = do
your homework for you (or get someone who doesn't care about the = homework
to give you code, I suppose).
Exactly. I wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that we're responding =
negatively. Even if one of us had *WANTED* to do the OP's homework, we =
couldn't. The original question was so vague as to be unanswerable. I =
thought Chad's answer was good, though when I read the original =
question, I imagined one might need an array of 5 Employee instances. =
But who could tell?
Speaking as someone who taught university/college/industry CS/SE for =
going on 30 years, I enjoy helping people do their homework. I love =
seeing people learn, and to the extent I can assist in that, I do. But =
I'm not about to replace their effort with mine...that does neither of =
us any good.=20
So, suppose you want help on your homework, or any other project? How do =
you get me to help?=20
1. If you can't figure out where to get started, you might try `There's =
an assignment at
http://cs.somecollege.edu/cs101/asst2.pdf, and I =
haven't got a clue how to get started, can you suggest something?' (My =
answer to this: probably 3 or 4 questions that might help you figure out =
where to begin, such as `Are there any people, places, or things in the =
problem that might turn into classes?')=20
2. If you have some code that doesn't behave the way you expect it to, =
boil it down to the shortest piece of code you can, and then post it, =
along with `I expected it to do A, but it did B. Why?'
3. If you can't understand a class, method, or language feature, try =
`can you show an example of how to use Someclass#method_x properly?'
The more precise your question, the more useful the answers you'll =
receive.=20
