When your question is answered use !solved to mark the question as resolved.

Remember to ask specific questions, provide necessary details, and reduce your question to its simplest form. For tips on how to ask a good question use !howto ask.

brother, as you've been told already: ask a question

How to Ask a Programming Question

Anyone can ask a question in our programming channels. Following the guide Writing The Perfect Question is recommended.

What to Post

State your problem clearly and provide all necessary details:

  • the relevant portion of your code, or all of it
  • the expected output
  • the actual output (or the full error)
    :trophy: Gold Standard: Minimal Reproducible Example
Where to Post

Provide the relevant code in the message, and format it nicely with a code block*. If it's too much for one message, you can upload it:

  • Compiler Explorer for most C/C++ snippets
  • OnlineGDB for interaction, debugging
    :no_entry: Do not post screenshots, let alone photos of your screen!
* Use /code if you don't know how to format code blocks

if you don't ask a question, you don't get an answer, it's shrimple

lament eagle
#

look we cannot help you if you do not ask an question

dull stone
#

lol we're collectively pressuring them into asking one now

#

in case you're wondering why there's a bunch of angry nerds coming after you for not properly asking a question (and provided you're still reading): people are generally willing to put as much effort into answering a question as you put into asking it in the first place

#

which is to say none so far

Fair, but I also take issue with the hints towards a lack of respect for other people's time though, especially here

#

"help
- what's your issue
- meh, I'll just leave it"

I think he expects us to freind him first

tropic vessel
#

yeah, well, I don't help people I don't know in DMs shrug

unborn bay
#

Yeah, it is a unlikely scenario

#

sometimes it's because their question is about something against the rules monikasmug

unborn bay
#

Sometimes they truly think it’s better to ask in dms for whatever reason

I can tell ya, I'm gonna flame you a whole lot more for going to my DMs instead of asking here. Most of the more experienced people here will put as much effort into helping people learn as people put forward to learning. This involves asking well formed questions, not asking the same thing many times in a row (we've had plenty of people just keep asking the same question), not asking us to write your code for you, etc.

@tropic vessel yeah i know i don't do that im saying there's people that actually care about learning , and do not want to think that theey are dumb

tropic vessel
#

Sure, and I'm here to help people who actually want to learn, yall just aint doing the learning in my DMs KEKW

opaque tangle
#

i dont do that lol

tropic vessel
#

Ahh, the not wanting people to think they are dumb is unfortunately an issue that people will have to overcome. I'll straight up say it, you are dumb af when you start programming, everyone is. It's how you grow that defines you, not how you start shrug

opaque tangle
#

But they rather ask privately instead of getting clowned you know . There are alot of people that ruined that opportunity for others.

tropic vessel
#

There's no shame in being dumb, only in staying that way

#

I mean, getting clowned for learning should probably get sent a mod report shrug

opaque tangle
#

also when you ask in chat there are different responses and you aren't sure which one to take in consideration

tropic vessel
#

Typically, multiple responses = listen to the person/people with the highest rank in the server

#

Like, ik it's an appeal to authority fallacy, but we tend to do a good job here making sure the roles are applied appropriately

does anyones Visual Studio not VSC freezing for the newest version 2022. I was reading on stack overflow it has been acting like that to alot of people and there are many options.Do you think i should use an older version and if so which one would be best fit.

tropic vessel
#

Yeah, I've definitely had freeze issues. Unfortunately, I don't consider a downgrade to VS2019 as an option.

opaque tangle
#

so rather than downgrading i should stick with VSCODE for c++ , I usually use NVIM but for learning the syntax for c++ i am sticking with VSCODE for now

tropic vessel
#

I just use Visual Studio 2022 Community still. The freezes I see tend to be when I leave it open for a long time and do a big copy/paste op

opaque tangle
#

interesting

tropic vessel
#

It's still better for my use case than VSC
