You can also answer questions in the discussion forums, and
we really encourage that.
Because explaining programming concepts is a great way for you to learn and
you also get to help out one of your classmates.
Here are some general tips about asking questions in the forums.
First, before you start a new topic,
you should check the FAQ pages on dukelearntoprogram.com and
existing forum threads to see if your question has already been answered there.
The first thing you should do when you have a question about
a programming assignment or a quiz is check the FAQ page for that course.
Second, start a new thread if you have a new question.
Don't post your question as a reply to an existing thread unless it's really closely
related.
This way, it's easier for people to see what your question is about and
help you more quickly.
Third, if you need to post code, use the code formating box,
which is the one with this symbol on.
