hey, I appreciate the help (thanks, first of all!), but I'm going to delete your code, because we want to help people learn, not necessarily give them the code straight ahead! Thanks! Larry 04:45, 6 Oct 2005 (EDT)

I agree with Larry. Giving people code to copy and paste straight into the judge doesn't help anyone learn anything, and usually trying to pick out the relevant details of an algorithm straight from code is much harder than explaining it in words or pseudocode. Hubert 19:32, 6 Oct 2005 (EDT)

I agree too. It is better to give people a fishing rod than to give them a fish. If you give them a fish, sooner or later they will ask for more and more. roticv
