Thats a bit harsh... but fair.

Most problems can be put right by reading and understanding the compiler messages... but to a new starter in the language the error messages can seem cryptic and confusing... it never hurts to ask for help... you learn from people with more knowledge then you gain some yourself.. building on what you have learnt... in programming making errors is one of if not the most common thing we do
