# **Guide to Asking Coding Questions** ## **Why?** Good questions help your question be solved faster, and people will want to answer your question Bad questions waste time, you will often not get answers that you asked for, and people will often ignore your questions ## **Quick Questions Guide** ### Do This - Always ask your questions in English - Explain what you want the code to do - Explain what the code does - Include error messages - Share the repl with the line numbers - When you figure out the answer, update your post - Put the repl link, instead of pasting code ### Don't Do This - Don't post homework questions - Don't use caps in the title - Don't use words like 'HELP' or 'PLEASE' in the title - Don't post questions that already have an answer (Search Box) - Don't post feedback or bugs on Talk, use [repl.it/feedback](https://repl.it/feedback) for feedback, or [repl.it/bugs](https://repl.it/bugs) for bugs ## **Steps For Better Questions** 1. Understand the code - Read your code and figure out what each line does - If a concept is unfamiliar, Google it - You can also use a debugger to help you 2. Describe the problem - Explain what you want the code to do - Explain what the code does (error messages) 3. Provide the code - Share a repl that has your code - Share the line number(s) of your code issue - Make sure that the code you shared has the issue 4. Format code constantly - Make sure you code is easy to read 5. Check for typos - Make sure the code does not have any typos that would cause the problem 6. Explain what you did to troubleshoot the problem - Make a list of what you think the problem is and try to fix your problem by going through the list 7. Make a guess on what you think the problem might be - Use the list from the previous step 8. Proofread the question - Make sure you provided everything - Clear all confusions that you think there might be 9. Update people on the question - If you figured out the answer, edit the post to tell people - When you get an answer, fully understand it - Be nice to people who answer your question - Remember that the people wanted to answer your question, but didn't have to 10. Things to NOT do - Don't post homework questions - Only post questions in English - Do not use caps in the title - Do not use "HELP" or "PLEASE" in the title - Don't post questions that have already been answered (Use search box) - Don't post feedback or bugs on Talk, use [repl.it/feedback](https://repl.it/feedback) for feedback, or [repl.it/bugs](https://repl.it/bugs) for bugs ## **Example:** ### **Question** We have some Python code with an error: [repl](https://repl.it/@Mosrod/Question-Tutorial) ```python rannumexe = int(input()) if rannumexe = 1: print('hi' + rannumexe) ``` ### Step 1 We show what each line does using comments. ```python rannumexe = int(input()) # Asks the user to input a rannumexe if rannumexe = 1: # If the rannumexe equals 1 print('hi' + rannumexe) # Print hi and the rannumexe ``` ### Step 2 We want the code to input a number, and if the number is one, print "hi" and the number. Our problem is that we have an invalid syntax error on line 2 in the main.py file. ``` File "main.py", line 2 if rannumexe = 1: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax ``` ### Step 3 Our repl with the issue is located [here](https://repl.it/@Mosrod/Question-Tutorial). We have an issue on line 2 ### Step 4 We can change "rannumexe" to "number" to clear confusion ```python number = int(input()) # Asks the user to input a number if number = 1: # If the number equals 1 print('hi' + number) # Print hi and the number ``` ### Step 5 We don't have any typos ### Step 6 Our problem could be that we improperly used the if statement ### Step 7 The problem could be about using the if statement incorrectly ### Step 8 Our final question: Title: Invalid syntax error about equal signs Content: I have an invalid syntax error on line 2 in the main.py file of this [repl](https://repl.it/@Mosrod/Question-Tutorial). The program should take a number as an input, check if the number is equal to one, and if so, print "hi" and the number. The error point to the equal signs and I think this issue is with the incorrect syntax of the if statement. Help is appreciated :). ```python number = int(input()) # Asks the user to input a number if number = 1: # If the number equals 1 print('hi' + number) # Print hi and the number ``` ``` File "main.py", line 2 if rannumexe = 1: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax ``` Steps based on Gordon Zhu's [post](https://medium.com/@gordon_zhu/how-to-be-great-at-asking-questions-e37be04d0603).

Hi, Any ideas on this error on line 18? No matter what i print i still get this error. Thanks!

I am having a problem with this assignment. I have to create a method for the object 'userobj'. There is already a key called 'name' and I have to add a method to 'userobj' called 'greeting'. I thought I got it, but the method has an error: "Label 'greeting' on function statement. Missing name in function declaration." on the line where I stated my code. Any help? Thanks! function exerciseTwo(userObj){ // Exercise Two: You will be given an object called 'userObj' // userObject will already have a key on it called 'name' // Add a method to userObj, called 'greeting'. // Using the keyword 'this', the greeting method should return the following string: // 'Hi, my name is ' and the users name. // eg: If userObj has a name: 'Dan', greeting should return: Hi, my name is Dan' // NOTE: DO NOT create a new object. // NOTE: DO NOT create a key called name the key is already on the object. greeting: function(){ return 'Hi, my name is ' + this.name; } // Please write all of your code on the lines above. return userObj; }

Some codes do fine in repl.it but don't work well in codeblocks. Why is that?

When I run my code, it seems to be glitching. It isn't the code, as it was working one minute, but now it isn't. I tried to go back to previous versions, but it doesn't work! Here's the link to it. please let me know if the code works, and if there are any fixes to this. https://repl.it/@Abdul_QadirBhat/Assignment-2-String-Manipulation-v4 I've got to hand this in in a few days and I need to complete it! EDIT: The code is meant to have a menu displayed like this:  But it just seems to be glitching when I run it and it doesn't allow me to input anything. It may be some error on the backend or something, but I don't know...I'm pretty sure it isn't my code...

Hi, I had completed my first simple code for an assignment months ago, now that I have to write a report and etc about it, it needs to be ran few times. The issues is that, out of nowhere, from a working code, I get the following error all the time - You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 19.0.3 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
