So yes, he can learn new tools. That's a given, but in reading that through I see the following:
"Ever used a debugger" (followed by a comment on how he doesn't know how to use a debugger)
"Yes, use a debugger" plus the actual reason for his issue
- "I figured that out literally seconds before you posted this" from the OP plus a further question followed by some really unnecessary snipiness from 2 others.
This is stupid. Why couldn't someone just say
a) you need to actually use the "return" keyword to return a value
b) after swapping values you need to return the result (mi or last, depending) instead of myString
Really, really simple. He's a newbie front end dev who has worded a question clearly, formatted it nicely, and admits he doesn't know how to phrase things properly (and clearly doesn't understand enough to see what he's doing wrong).
So why dump on him? Just answer and move on, or if it's a poor question vote it down and move on. Let someone who doesn't feel the need to make someone feel stupid have a go at answering the question.

I can see the point. I have to agree.
Thank you.

His history (8 months) is not looking like a spammer. He has messages 50+ no-spam messages. (You even answered him a copule couple of times)
He has made a mistake, yes. But I think a warning about spam could be enough, I think he appretiates his account and will correct himself.

This[^] member joined just today and has done nothing but posted (40 at last count) comments telling people to go to another website to get their questions answered, but in his words, it's not spam.

I respectfully disagree with the good Trevor30. Of course it is spam.

This[^] member is pretty much doing nothing but posting links to his own website in order to drive traffic there, 3 out of 4 "answers" and 2 out of 3 comments. I warned him that it was abuse but he came back posting links again.

I think it's a borderline case. I'd give him enough rope and see what happens.

He is still posting his spam. I am deleting them as fast as I can.

OK. When I looked he only had 3 solution posts up and they at least looked like potential answers to the questions being posed. If he's not taking advise to cut it out then 'off with his head' as the Queen of Hearts would say, although I don't see anything spammy at the moment so I think you well on top of it.

Now spammers are becoming intelligent and intelligent, sometimes in my blog I also get confused that what is spam or not. Anyways, that member is a spammer. He scans for "printing" in and comments similar links. But mostly offtopic, for example, someone wants to print a page, but the link given is of printing barcodes.
This member Should be nuked ASAP.

There is a link at the bottom of that article that links to the original article here on CP.
Still somebody ought to talk to them about this.
Cheers!
