$100-$400... USD? How much work, any guidance? Days, lines of code,
etc? Problem domain?

1. Aren't you the same person who asked for help with homework? So
can't we assume you'd be paying someone to do your homework for you?
Wouldn't this be a violation of the relevant ethics standards/honor
code/etc. of your school?
2. It's more possible than you might like to think that your
instructor, or someone your instructor knows, reads this newsgroup and
will see that one of the students is trying to pay someone to do the
homework assignment. Ouch.
So, no, it is not appropriate to solicit someone to do your homework
for pay. It is appropriate for you to show us what actual work you've
done so far (not just the questions, but *your* work on them) and to
ask us why you're stuck. You'll actually learn how to program; you will
not have someone else doing your homework for you; you will have people
giving you pointers so you can do your homework *yourself*.

Good catch! I didn't think to check posting profile, void information
was a clue I should've picked up on. BTW, who cares about school's
ethics, how about plain public ethics?

alphabet_ru...@live.com, your problem is simply that you don't know
the protocol of communication with programmers, since you aren't one.
Try not to take it so hard - you are simply expected to break each
problem down piece by piece, try to deal with each piece yourself,
then ask for help on each piece.
You can't ask for help on the whole shebang on a news group. If you
have a friend (Someone else in the class perhaps? Someone you might
hit up comming out of a Comp. Sci. lecture?) that you can sit down
with, then you can ask for help on the whole thing because it's easier
to work that way in person. They'll help you with the process of
breaking down and recognizing each piece.
Also, in person you can make the "have a heart, give me a break, I'll
pay you" appeal that _for_sure_ won't fly in a news group!

THIS may be a problem.
But being in a business major, it might be the purpose of the
exercise, to see how well this future PHB can have programmers do what
he needs to be done.

Is Robert Maas still hacking on PowerLisp on a vintage 68k Mac under
System 7.5.5? Here's a wacky idea. What if comp.lang.lisp wrote your
algorithm for you (not that you've said what it is yet), and you put
up the cash for a cheapie laptop (from Ebay, or maybe a sub-$400 Dell
or Asus with Ubuntu Linux installed), for Mr Maas. Then he can apt-
get install emacs, slime, sbcl, cmucl, clisp.

If you can't pass the class, drop it. Take only classes in
which you can make a passing grade.
Are business-majors required to take a Lisp class?

It's not smart to ask for homework solution here your as instructor
might be reading it, and you should ask yourself why do you go to
school if you're only there to pass some exams. Usually in every
curriculum there is some material that many students don't give a
damn about it but they need it to go to get their degree, so if lisp
is one them pay somebody, its your money.

That's easy, all he need is a book "Dealing code monkeys for
dummies."/
By the way what university asks business majors to learn lisp?
bobi
This is the killing clue.
Getting your homework done in C or Java is too easy.

Any university that imposes a computing requirement on business majors, and
picks an introductory course from among the offerings provided by the CS
department, which happens to have a slant toward Lisp.
I can think of reasons why Lisp would be more of an asset to a business
major than to many other programming languages.
Oh yeah, expert advice from the master in flunking!
> Take only classes in which you can make a passing grade.
So what were those, in your case, and did they amount to a set with which
you could graduate?
It's not the fault of ``Commune Lisp'' that you flunked out.
You are clearly not capable of handling even freshman-level computer science
coursework and exams, even if you are allowed to use your favorite programming
language.
Generally, you have to be able to comprehend verbal requirement specifications,
and turn them into code which reflects those requirements.
You've shown time and time again that you can't do that even when the
requirements are accompanied by working code.
You are the root cause of your own failures.
Not to mention that, more and more these days, employers are doing
web searches on potential candidates, and if they discover that one
has that sort of attitude about homework, how could they trust the
candidate to be ethical when working for the company?!?

More to the point, how can they trust the candidate to correctly do /unethical/
things for the advancement of the corporation, given that he's too stupid to
conceal his identity when cheating on homework?
I hope you will follow your own suggestion now while you are still
at school. Your Comal classes still didn’t yield fruit.

Sorry I couldn't resist the temptation to quote my favourite anti
lisp review of AMOP.
