Right. Now that is an interesting point of view.
You see, this is a community and AFAIK, in communities, things are based on giving and taking.

People contributing to these forums do so in their own free time, so I think that coming here with a "social life" in mind will get you much further. I had no intention to give you a social jab.

And instead of complaining, why don't you ask the question you want to ask? Make it a technical question, provide some sample code to (re)create the array, describe what you have already investigated and describe how you would like the code to behave. Or are you really just interested in the question why these topics aren't covered in any books? ;)

IMO, that might get you a much faster and better answer....

Cheers,
