• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

Hey @viral hinge!

It looks like you are trying to paste code into this channel.

You seem to be using the wrong symbols to indicate where the code block should start. The correct symbols would be ```, not '''.

Here is an example of how it should look:
```
Hello, world!
```

This will result in the following:

Hello, world!```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

[viral hinge]
