| Nov 9, 2013 at 17:36 | comment | added | rocking | @KenWhite I will keep this mind and in future i will do as you said,thanks | |
| Nov 9, 2013 at 17:34 | comment | added | Ken White | @rocking: Here's an answer I posted (to a rather vague question, until I tried searching quickly for a link to post to prove the poster made no effort; I couldn't find one). I think it's a much better way to benefit the poster (and future readers) than just pasting the working batch script code, don't you? | |

@rocking: That didn't help. The poster made absolutely no effort to do the work first (there's not a single switch in the code posted, even though the question is clearly about how to convert the if to switch). You've still done nothing but provide a copy/paste answer to a homework question, and your single sentence (of which all relevant content is in the link you posted, meaning it's not in your answer itself) is not a helpful edit. (FWIW, I've downvoted and voted to delete the question. I've also downvoted your answer for the reasons given here; you were clearly warned here. :)

| Nov 9, 2013 at 17:22 | comment | added | rocking | @KenWhite I added some texts so that future users may get benefitted | |
| Nov 9, 2013 at 17:20 | comment | added | HansUp | Not sure if "downvite" was intentional, but I like it. Shift the focus from downvote as a penalty to an invitation to improve the post. | |
| Nov 9, 2013 at 17:20 | comment | added | rocking | OP has just asked how to do that in switch and answered that.What explanation shall i give in this? | |
| Nov 9, 2013 at 17:18 | comment | added | Ken White | FWIW: I would downvote your answer for two reasons: 1) The poster didn't ask a question; they just dumped a bunch of code, and 2) you just posted code to fix theirs, with no explanation of what was wrong, no effort to educate, or anything else; you gave them copy/paste code as an answer to what was clearly a homework question. You taught them only two things in the process: How to cheat on their homework, and how to get answers here to those homework questions without doing any work. How does that benefit anyone? The poster and future readers learn nothing. | |
| Nov 9, 2013 at 17:14 | comment | added | Ken White | @rocking: There's no requirement to leave a comment when downvoting (regardless of the reason). Voting in any direction here is anonymous by design. I leave the comment first in order to try and give the person a reason (and opportunity) to make the proper decision themselves; it's more polite, creates fewer hard feelings, and hopefully helps them to learn something. If that doesn't work, the comment may still be helpful to discourage future readers from doing the same thing. If the person who answered has gotten rude or impolite about it, however, I don't leave the DV comment; I just - vote. | |
| Nov 9, 2013 at 17:07 | comment | added | rocking | I appreciate your idea.One should write a comment first.But in my case no comments only downvotes | |
