Bias
Assumptions
Questions
Specifics
First Steps:
👣 Know what you want to have happen
@ArleneAndrews_1
👣 Try – you may be able to get it!
👣 Pay attention to any errors or messages
👣 Put the wrong answer out there
Wording
You're more likely to get a fast response if
you just go ahead and ask your question.
An isolated/recreated example of the issue
on a codepen will help.
I'm getting “TypeError: 'x' is not iterable”
when I try to loop over x. Is there an error
in my syntax?

Stack Overflow
Be specific with your
issues: don't just post
code, and expect others
to figure out what's wrong.
Be accurate - Your question
may help others!
