This just makes me mad every time.

I have a friend who asks for help in coding and just reads and copies my whole code, doesn't even understand what's going on and just copies the whole damn thing (the variable names too). Also, says I don't know how to do it properly because I indent the code and he wants it all in a single line.

If there is any error in the code, just tells me that there is a problem and does nothing and keeps nagging me if I solved the problem every 2 minutes.

Once I solve the problem, just copies the stuff again and then brags to others about the code and takes all the credit.

After bragging, if someone asks him for help he just tried to match the code line by line and worry by word. And tells them their code is wrong if they are using a different method of solving the problem and asks them to do it like him.

Being an introvert, I don't go shoving my stuff in others faces and criticising their code.

But the professor knows I am good, so that works for me. :)

    Give him your Code in Python. This will at least help with the indentation.

    @Shiggy That's the first positive point of syntax enforced indentation that anyone has come up with 👍

    That's the problem. He always sticks to me while coding. I cannot just push him away.
    Maybe I'm too good of a person 😌

    Maybe that's the problem all of us have in common (being to nice or good)

    Not okay, his attitude is not okay and you are at fault to indulge him. You are norturing somebody to be a prick in the future and on the workplace.

    If he don't like coding, why do you even need to behave like that? Quit coding! Why to act like retard?

    And if he like it, why not to learn properly? Speak to him.

    I'll try to part my way from him

    Call out his bullshit. Publically.

    I know it's hard when you're an introvert, but if you don't learn how to do it now you'll never learn, and you'll always be at the bottom of the foodchain.

    And you don't want that

    @endor I'm not just an introvert, I am INTROVERT introvert. I don't even know half of my class. (I don't have many friends, but I like it. Minding your own business and no one to nag or disturb you)

    I would like to make friends but most of them are just not interested in learning

    Bringing it out publicly would not do anything since no one cares, but I'll try to stay away from him as much as possible.

    Most professors know that I am good at stuff, so I don't have much issues other than that he annoys me.

    You should probably tell your friend to change majors! I’m being genuine about this, he won’t make it if he can’t even get basic formatting right, some other study would suit him much better.

    @rockford5281 I’m not sure how far you are along in your education, but I know that for the first bit of my degree, I was surrounded by slackers and people who just wanted to get the class over with. But later on in my education, the classes got smaller, along with the ego, and I just naturally made friends with people who love to learn and care about this field.

    You could give him a virus dressed like the solution to the assignment ;)

    I understand, but I am super shy. I cannot even start a conversation with anyone.

    @Blake
    He left his medical education and came here. He already changed the field completely. The classes are getting smaller, we only have 6 people in our major, but I don't see them as good friends, most of them are slackers.

    @TempestasLudi
    I am new to all this computers and programming stuff so I don't know how to do it, but some reading might just do it.
    I am a total noob. (literally had my first of and started programming learning about software development just around a year and half ago)
    Also, I cannot just intentionally hurt anyone (in any way). But, if I feel like it is going overboard, I will try doing it.

    I might give my professors a heads up about this guy if he tries to copy my code for the assignments.

    @rockford5281 please give your professor a heads up.

    By using your code and presenting it as his own, he is technically committing fraud and/or plagiarism...
