I am not showing off smartness, using ironic words, or
being arrogant or aggressive.

I do not know that word.  The dictionaries that I did check
do not define it either.

But this is the heart of it!
YOU STILL HAVE NOT TOLD US WHAT YOUR PROBLEM REALLY IS.
You have only told us how you would solve it in C,
which is not the same thing at all.

And it really matters, because the whole way to structure your
code might need to be different.

Instead of flaming me, why not address the many positive
suggestions that were made?
