Thank you Jeffrey for sharing your code with others... sharing is one of the best ways to learn new things and new ways.

Keep Coding! :)

What was the proper way for me to present the code? How did Chyno Deluxe fix the presentation for me?

Hey Jeffrey,

If you go back into your question and click on the ... under your question, you will have an option to "edit question." Once you do that you will see where Chyno added a line-break and then 3 backticks with the programming language. At the end of the code it was closed with another 3 backticks. Doing this will format the code into a code block and the syntax highlighting will reflect the programming language stated.

If you meant "how was he able to", we as moderators can edit other students' questions.
