Your contribution cannot be approved because it does not follow the Utopian Rules.

• In addition to typographical errors like writing basic as "Bacis", the tutorial does not do justice to the concept you are trying to convey. It is too weak on basics which is very important when you are writing for a basic knowledge audience. I hope you can improve upon this.
