If I've been making good progress in a class and get stuck on one code challenge is it OK to skip over it and return to it after finishing another section?

If you are on a track, you may not be able to advance until the course is complete, which is contingent on all the tasks of the course being completed. So yes its perfectly fine to skip a task and come back to it later, but you may not be able to skip it for good.

Courses Plus Student 34,558 PointsThat is very fair...if I can succeed at the next few challenges I am just trying to avoid being stuck permanently and giving up. I would expect to come back and finish all the challenges.

42,016 Pointsif you get stuck feel free to make a post on the forum. thats what its there for and people like to help out. If you do post on the forum, be sure to include the code you have tried so far and what you dont understand/are having trouble with

Courses Plus Student 34,558 PointsRight...I went back and added the code...will go forward in the meantime...until I figure it out.

Nancy Melucci
Courses Plus Student 34,558 PointsI did...the code is in another forum. I'll re-post in a few days if no one helps (or I still don't get it.)_
