Ah the truth comes out.

Please read the forum rules. We dont encourage homework to be posted. The reason they exist is for your learning.

Take my word. Learn it. You will enjoy the journey later.

I would have closed this thread. But I am no moderator.

Very soon, one of the moderators is going to do that.
