I'm pretty sure this is not a group for helping people  cheat on their school coursework.

You,the one trying to supposedly help him couldn't even write a single line of code. How is that "helping"?

Kindly come back when u've done some real work and you are stuck.

I hope I've been of "help" to you and your friend.

thanks
