How to Ask for Help with Compilation Issues - Code Project Challenges (english version)
- #C#
Hey, everyone!
I've noticed that when people ask for help in the room/forum, they are not providing all the information we need to assist. Since communication is asynchronous, it can take a long time for us to receive the information and understand it to respond.
So, here are some tips for asking and formulating your question:
- Print the code or paste the complete code in the question.
- Also, send the output of your test; take a screenshot, even if it doesn't compile because the output always helps us understand the error.
- Check if you have the right amount of [ ] { } ( ), if you opened, it must be closed; this causes compilation errors, so check this.
- Verify if you are not missing any semicolons - ; - or if they are not in the wrong place.
- It's worth checking the strings if the quotes are correct at the beginning and end. It's also common to forget about "string"; it should always be closed too.
Tip - In code challenges, the first number in the compilation error that appears is the line with the error.
These small errors from both of us happen a lot in the code, and often we don't see them, so checking is already a good part of the process of solving.
But don't worry, follow the tips above to post a question (code print and terminal print), and we'll answer, and everything will be fine!
A good afternoon to everyone!
