For the first time in my two and a half decade career so far...
I wrote a base class named "Shape" and derived "Square", "Circle", "Triangle" and "Octagon" classes!

I hope you have success with your alternative to Visio.

That's what I meant, I just don't like long class names.

That won't compile... You know that'll come back in QA, right?

I think I did that a couple of years ago, but derived slightly different classes from the parent. I was writing a small app to calculate fluid flows through different channel shapes with different slopes and frictional coefficients. It was rather cool, actually, but the company I wrote it for didn't have anyone working for them bright enough to use it. Oh well...

The difficulty asking a question …. and the much more difficulty to answer one
Q:
Questioners are not always –usually not- native English. So some questions may look strange for natives. This should never be a decision criterion to vote down or fade out a question.
A:
Yes I can imagine one would give all of the own knowledge in the answer. But usually it is enough/better simply to answer first the basics. No matter how simple the question is.
Additional notes are of course welcome and usually very good, but remember additional and not flood Q with it first.
Just some thoughts....written by a absolutely no native

The problem with that is the Q's that get 1-voted have nothing to do with what language the OP is native in.
Conveying a context so people who are walking into your question ice cold is a common concept across all languages. The typical response to a bad question like that is usually something like "What are you trying to do with this?".
Also, there's a ton of questions where the OP obviously didn't do the simplest of searches before posting. For example, there's a question in QA right now, 1-voted of course, where the OP says he's trying to write an "OCR application where the inputs are 0..9". OK, fine. OK, no context again so "What part of this are you having a problem with?" There's also tons of articles all over the web on OCR, including a bunch here on CP.
Both of these problems usually get a 1-vote. Again, asking questions is a skill. Doing research is a skill. These are severely lacking in most OP's and they are the two skills that, without, you cannot survive in this industry or even be an effective hobbyist.

Agreed.
Here the OP claim 5 years of developer experience, but is unable to provide code for this simple problem, and wondering if recursion is better, show lack of experience. I suspect HomeWork in desguise.

Many posters seem unable to form a clear idea of what they actually want.
Some have been instructed to use some technique/algorithm/whatever that they don't know.
Neither of those is a language issue.

"Many posters seem unable to form a clear idea of what they actually want."
But exactly same happens to me also  "I think" I'm clear about what I'm asking, but nobody understands my Q. E.G: Web and Win, how to provide service for web[^]
I'm working on it to correct it

I see what you mean, and your use of English is fine, though certainly not "like a native".
I do think that question suffers from the focussing on the "how" rather than the "what", which we see very frequently.
A poster needs to start by stepping back and describing the "big picture" of what they are trying to accomplish, rather than simply stating only the issues he is currently having with a particular implementation. In order to provide a complete solution, the responder needs to understand the whole situation.
