   Who needs error-checking anyway ?   Just have the users provide/enter the   
   correct data. :-)

   Homework ?   Yes, possibly (it also crossed my mind).  Though in that case   
   error checking might be something thats taught later.   
      
   The more sinister explanation would be that he's contracted (boss,   
   freelance) to come up with a program, and tries to use us to create it for   
   him ...   
      
   Either way, without seeing the OP putting effort into it himself first I'm   
   not going to spend any energy on it.   
      
   ... I do wonder how his post passed our gatekeeper though ...
