Please note: "No, You can't" is NOT the correct answer to the question, even if you take the 'just answer what is asked for' approach: the OP asked for 'how', hence you have to explain the reason why he/she cannot do that (and you might also suggest an alternative).
Veni, vidi, vici.

You right I was not too precise while phrasing the sample, but you got the idea...
I can show you a handful of questions where the OP ask for his/her homework solution - most cases are very simple for the experienced one, but in most cases there will be no answer here to that kind of question (except Griff's pre-design lecture). In SO the answer will be copy-pasted just to take the points and the OP is out of competition...

Well, I completely agree with you (until someone else will suggest a better way to do it ).

One big difference between Stack Overflow and Code Project is, in my opinion, the very purpose of the questions. SO folks do their better to make every question a reference one. CP folks, on the other hand, try to be immediately helpful to the OP. That's why similar ('duplicate') questions don't make sense there while do make sense here (my two cents).

I get just as many answers from SO as CP, though the contexts are quite different. SO is usually just-to-the-point code snippets with brief explanations (if you are lucky) whereas CP mostly returns articles/tutorials aimed at teaching concepts. More often than not, a snippet or two is what I prefer, but I try to always bookmark any relevant CP articles for later reading.

People "need" the answer (asap!); they don't want advice.

Speaking of QA, I just noticed that the total page count has gone done by about 1,000. Looks like someone did some new years cleanup.

Is the full name banned from this site or is there any special reason that newcomer programmers who haven't been around as much as you and I should be kept from understanding what the elephant you're on about? Apart from being smart, that is???

Is there any special reason you are feeling irritated today, and expressing hostility passive-aggressively through a fantasized projection of some imaginary "newcomer's" experience ?

A year ago there was a furore when it was revealed there was horse meat in our beef.
How lucky we were!
