Looks like school work to me. In my school if you are caught doing this you are kicked out. Not out of the class. Out of the school. No second chances, no refunds, no diploma. Good luck getting accepted by another school after that.

@mnmn - We're going to need to know more. What error are you getting? It looks to me like your "else if (!eoffound)" should be "else if (eoffound)", maybe...

@numero - Since when is asking for help on homework an issue? Asking other people to do it for you is an issue, or asking for help on an exam is an issue, but for help on homework? MR's forums is generally where I stop by when I get stuck on my x86 assembly homework...

In the academic world I view the, "This is broken. What's wrong?" question completely different than the, "I'm getting a segmentation fault when I blah, blah, blah." In the first case there is no understanding of the problem. Any help will only solve the problem for the assignment, not offer any long-term knowledge. In the second case the student has shown they know what the problem is, but they don't understand what to do about it. I helped plenty of people in the lab when I was in school. I would talk through a problem with anyone. I wouldn't step in and just provide a block of code that fixed their problem.

That was my point. As harsh as it was.
