If I get stuck on a code challenge is it OK to skip over it?

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?

yes you can do that, although the course wont be complete until that task is completed.

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.

That 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.

if 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

I 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.)_
