Welcome on board!
I would say it depends on the sort of question :
If it looks too much like an assignment work, dont take the risk to find your thrad closed or get banned...
But dont forget to mention the source of your homework (book chapter page...) instead of classs etc...
e.g. in assignment you are often asked to work with restriction (using only given commands...)
The rest should be asked in dummies (IMHO) if related to "Howto" or shell programming
if you submit a shell script that is not working correctly...
Waiting to read your first post then!
All the best

NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell
SYNOPSIS
sh
times
ksh
times
DESCRIPTION
sh
Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.
ksh
Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a
variable assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name genera-
tion are not performed.
