He's not being a snob. Please understand than on the internet, many
students will try to get the public to answer their homework for them,
without doing the work on their own. Your question sounds like a
typical beginner's programming assignment. Because you gave no
indication of what you had tried already, it looked like you were
trying to just get a quick answer without doing any learning on your
own. Peter is very helpful when it is clear that someone has tried to
resolve the problem on their own.

Good luck with future posts!
