hi there
i think it will be better for you to take a good C - programming book and try doing things by yourself. I don't think it would be very difficult for you to write this program. But if you want to become a programmer you have to learn how to find solutions by yourself ;) This is enen more true when the program to write is a part of your homework.
for a manual i think K&R is not a bad choice (have a look there is a thread in this group about the subject)
BTW i don't think comp.lang.c is here to do you your homework ;)
i think other people in this group will agree with my point of view ;)
try doing your exercise (write some algorithms and stuff) and if there is something you don't understand give me a sign :)

PS: The only advice i can give you at the moment is to start thinking by yourself :-) and _understand_ what's the purpose of each line of code you are writing.
