How to ask your programming questions

While you are learning programming there will be times when things ain't working out for you. You might be facing an error or some unexpected output. This is right when you need someone to help you.

Forums like stack overflow are good to ask your questions but when you have just begun programming you need to understand that in order to get your problem solved you need to phrase your question in a technical way.

Remember that no question is stupid, even the most experienced programmers have had similar problems at a certain point of time. You always need to be very specific about your question. In the process of explaining the question, you might quite often arrive at the solution as a side effect.

Keep these points in mind while asking your programming questions:

• Be elaborate, DO NOT MISS any step to the problem. Share screenshots of problem, you can try imgur.
• Tell what all you have tried, including the failures, this will save lot of your time.
• Dump the error, if there's a big error, copy the error on pastebin and share the link.
• At last, also tell what exactly you expected and where do you suspect the problem.
