Richard: Preferably, application code on 8052.COM should be in ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE and not it 'C'. That way, 'C'-learners will be discouraged from pestering 8052.COM for their homework solutions.
THAT will never happen, however much everybody wish so. It is even possible that one or more of the copy artists, as it is now, stumble on the C examples and thus do not even ask. Yes, it's too much to hope for, but I see no problem with letting the "copy artists" flounder. Example code should be functionally correct, but (a) impossible to compile without at least one grammar/syntax correction, and (b) useless without at least one logic correction.
I love that suggestion, but how many "'C'-learners will be pestering" with "where is tha fault, I need to turn in my paper tomorrow and do not have the time (read willingness/ability) to find it myself. Those are the ones we want most to filter out, aren't they? If we simply beg the moderators to filter 'em out, i.e. not post those, won't that fix the problem? They should be obvious enough. Then, of course, we have those that just have to brag by posting in response "I found the fault, it is...". I sometimes think those (presumably more capable) are worse by aiding and abetting than the (presumably less capable) copy artists asking for code.
Erik Those should be "filterable" as well, don't you think? We don't have to defeat our own filters. If every code sample has a paragraph in it at the beginning and end, indicating that there are intentionally placed flaws, I don't think it will go unnoticed by even the most unsophisitcated cut-and-pasters. OTOH, I think I'd like to be there when the instructor asks the cut-and-paster what those paragraphs mean. RE |
