It is not homework but a sample I was given. I dont necessarily have to do it but I would like to see how it is done so I can look at it and try and understand how it works. If anyone has any kind of help at all it would be greatly appreciated. As for the use of functions I'm not sure why they are used. Anyone with help please let me know. Thanks..
