Solving your own problems

I’m sure some folks might feel weird or bad about asking for assistance and then solving the problem themselves, but I think that we’ve all done it at one time or another.

I’ve felt silly about posting my own problems in here, then solving them, but I’ve realized a couple of things.

  1. When I’m writing the problem out, I’m actually doing my own code review before anyone else gets a chance to see it, ESPECIALLY when I proofread my text for grammatical errors and misspellings.
  2. In a community this big, someone else has had the same issue, or someone will have the same issue. In the case of the latter, the post will likely help them get back on track faster.

I like that you did your due diligence in solving the issue. Believe it or not, you finding a typo in your code will help other people learn how to find typos in their code, too. People often check the posts to see if anyone has had a similar issue.

One thing that will help everyone in here is if, instead of using screen-grabs, if you would please format your code as explained in this article to make it easier for people to read:
