Comment from student: Thank you very much but I got it from a book I just want to know the answers and how to go about it




<U>My response</U> :


Please do not argue with me.


Simply say &nbsp;"THANKS" &nbsp;and then follow my instructions, &nbsp;if you want to learn the subject from a good source.


Or do not follow - - - if you are not going to learn it.



You are a free person.



But to say &nbsp;"THANKS" &nbsp;is &nbsp;MANDATORY.



The rest is up to you . . .
