Sorry, can't help with PROBLEM SETS

We're sorry, but consultants aren't allowed to help you with problem sets.
Some consultants are in your classes, and having them help you would be
cheating.  It might even be cheating for those consultants to look at your
code, whether or not they can help you. 

It's also very possible for consultants to lead you astray without meaning
to.  For example, your professor might give you a problem set in order that
you can learn how to use some specific concept or construct.  But the
consultant who helps you might suggest a completely different way of doing
things, a way which might be better in some circumstances, but not for your
class. 

Your best resources for C programming help are:

	Your professor or TA.  (If your class doesn't use "olta", call up
	someone for help.)
	Your class's zephyr instance, if you're using one.
	The olc stock answers, especially the ones on debugging.
	Any good book on C.  There are lots.

Good luck with your problem sets.
