Yes, these questions are very poor
The third time someone from that programming class asked the exact same

answer to either of their classmates identical questions... I got down-voted
and the answer was deleted. Apparently, SO is a great way for the lazy to
get their homework done for them with 0 effort on their part, and it is
sacrilege to actively oppose that ;)
There is a function designed for exactly this case - it is to mark (flag
or vote) to close the question as duplicate. Adding an answer is adding
to the noise which is likely why it got deleted.
However SO does not provide as much help as it could to find duplicates
