Would it not be better to tell him how to do it or at the most say "I don't know". I know there are times when you want to prevent someone from making a serious mistake, but this is not the case here.

I know what you mean but in this case I find it worth mentioning that the 2 line code *is* easier to read.
And for me it would be wasting time to somehow find a solution for his problem instead of simply
using the 2 line code and use the saved time for real problems.
The 2 line code is definitely more in the spirit of Pascal than
obscuring what happens with a (not so clear) function.

But of course, everybody can do what he wants.
It was just meant in the sense of an advice.
