#166173 - same same but sometimes different Responding to: David Prentice's previous message |
David said:
members will give helpful replies, often giving examples or links to other resources In my view, people tend to get that here too. David said:
a question about a school assignment will be offered help and hints when given an intelligent question. They will not be given complete solutions. Here, it happens that someone who give this kind of answers gets a chewing out from other members for explaining things instead of posting runnable code. David said:
a badly explained question will get some polite pointers to improving their technique. Same as above - anyone pointing out problems with the original question may get a chewing out for bothering with that instead of just posting runnable code. |
