How can we deal with homework posts

Question

ppl asking for codes not for help , they don't want to make a rough structure of code,even after telling whole logic ...they want some1 to write a code 4 them... are we here 2 do their homework 😡 , i have stopped helping those now
👉ask for work they done,if they don't show work then we can unfollow the question(after providing algorithm,if possible)
👉those questions can be tagged as [homework] by the mods

Answer 1

/* let me tell u how those looks like
1)some recently opened account (generally)
2)they clearly specify what u have to use (that constructructor, that class, than operation... full detail they give )
3)sometimes saying its urgent
4)sometimes they post it as a challenge , specifying full detail & requirements like how they need , so that they can choose the best , without any effort of their own

Answer 2

looks like a homework question to me also bcz of details u specified
//u must provide your answer after the codes made ppl or some solution

Answer 3

see 4th point

Answer 4

Unless it is too long to answer we can afford to answer.
And as @Hatsy said in the post you attached that you can just provide an algorithm or hints to the asker instead of a complete solution
and yes editing them as [HOMEWORK] can also be a solution to this.

Answer 5

@Yash I understand...
All the best for your exams :)
I know you will do good :)
and I think you made a right decision....

Answer 6

here is one secret -> my old account was named as Yash Thatte

Answer 7

@YashThatte aka @code learner why did you deactivate your account??
opening another account with a different name serves you the same purpose?

Answer 8

We are not Mamas and Papas for schoolboys. We are not responsible for their education ("... you should do it yourself..")
It is also not our task to do homework for them.

So I think, it is an individual decision to help or not to help

Answer 9

and my account is new but I am old sololearn user. This is my second account. I deactivated my first account by sending email to sololearn

Answer 10

yes , I will post answer to my own question but after 3rd week of march because of the boards exam

Answer 11

I want to raise one more question here , it is about challenges. Not those 5 question challenges but those which people post as a question . I don't have objection on that I have answered such questions and posted my own challenges.
But how can we differentiate between homework problem and genuine challenge question?
I genuinely posted a challenge by creating a problem and some people thought , it was my homework -> here is that Challenge

Answer 12

that wasn't a homework question

Answer 13

this is not a homework , people misunderstood it because I gave details

Answer 14

On the positive side, at least we have these threads give us examples of tasks we can perform ourselves. 😄😄

Answer 15

I think it is a difference between

if do == right:
show the right way and give a hint
elif do == wrong:
post a complete code as a solution

Answer 16

honestly I don't have the answer @infinity , I just deactivated my account because my exams are close. Then opened a new account

Answer 17

I hate homework!

Answer 18

I actually like such posts. Like that guy who asked for complex numbers: I already made that code, learned some things along the way and going to give that code to him... after a few weeks, when there's no way he didn't fail.

Answer 19

I never even knew about this problem before now, thanks for sharing this!
