Answer 13

Thanks @mathslover, I was in the middle of an explanation

Answer 14

OHHH! i see, i was working with the 1/2's incorrectly, thanks guys...

Answer 15

Pleasure .. and sorry to break your explanation ..

Answer 16

No problem @GiggleSquid .. best of luck

Answer 17

@mathslover, you should probably restrain yourself from doing that. It's kinda rude.

Answer 18

When new users do it, It's okay because they have no clue what's going on anyway. But when a user who has been here for a while does it, then I get upset.

Answer 19

If there was a way to see that what r u typing then i would have stopped hero..

May be you are going kinda rude ..

Answer 20

@mathslover Hmm, that is still not an excuse.
You must have read the Code Of Conduct, which mentions not to give answers out.

Answer 21

@ParthKohli ... only answers are rude. . but soln are not ..

Answer 22

the user was getting wrong ... again and again as mentioned in the quetion ..

So i attached with the drawing that helped him/her

Answer 23

@Hero @mathslover We might want to indulge in chat, this is supposed to be a question that has already been solved.

Answer 24

In this case, it would have been good to guide the user to the result. He was obviously trying to understand how to get to the solution. He only needed a few hints and some advice, rather than post the entire solution all at once. You usually only do that when the user isn't present or if the user specifically requests it. Other than that, it is best to guide the users. Remember, this is a learning environment. Posting the entire solution isn't always as effective as you might believe @mathslover. Guiding is much more effective.

Answer 25

I respect @Hero's opinion completely.

Answer 26

@Hero :

I also agree but hence i posted that as image .

Well i dont want to make this as a debate

Answer 27

Come to chat.

Answer 28

why should i @ParthKohli ?

Is their any discussion about MATHS there?

Answer 29

No, I don't want to spoil this question. We'd continue our conversation here.
