Please don't give out direct answers :) @bsp50150 Instead, try engaging the asker so they can learn better and understand where your answer is coming from. As the saying goes… $$\\\color{darkblue}{Give~a~man~a~fish,~he~eats~for~a~day.}$$ $$\\\color{pink}{Teach~a~man~to~fish,~he~eats~for~a~lifetime.}$$
