Guideline for Comments

tl;dr: Please put your code into a <pre>YOUR CODE</pre> section.

Hello everyone!

If you want to ask a question about the solution. DO READ the post and comments firstly.

If you had some troubles in debugging your solution, please try to ask for help on StackOverflow, instead of here.

If you want to post some comments with code or symbol, here is the guidline.

1. To post your code, please add the code inside a <pre> </pre> section (preferred), or <code> </code>. And inside the pre or code section, you do not need to escape < > and &, e.g. no need to use &lt; instead of <.

2. To use special symbols < and > outside the pre block, please use "&lt;" and "&gt;" instead.

3. If you have a comment with lots of < and >, you could add the major part of your comment into a <pre class="decode:true crayon-inline "> YOUR COMMENTS </pre> section.

Finally, if you are posting the first comment here, it usually needs moderation. Please be patient and stay tuned. Thanks!
