I'm taking a C++/CLI class at my university and am not having much luck understanding the concepts. I've never programmed in C++ before and the instructor of the class isn't very good at explaining/teaching. To start with, I have an assignment that is due Feb 25 that I would like help with. I'm not asking for anyone to do it for me; I just don't know where to start. I'm willing to pay for the time. Here is a link to the assignment if anyone is curious: http://cs351.cs.ua.edu/S2013/Assignments/P2.htm
