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 and 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

Sorry I thought this was #cpp-help-text

Would be nice if you included int main function, so we can see how you’re calling this function and using it

There are still a bunch of errors to fix before your code can get reviewed.

  • Pay attention to where you place things like opening and closing braces and if and else statements.
  • In your else statement you have 2 variables you haven't declared yet but you try to use them
