There are two ways you can format your code to make it easier to read and test:

1. After you copy/paste your code into the editor, select it by dragging your cursor over it then click the (`</>`) button in the toolbar to automatically wrap your code in backticks. (You can click on the animated demo image below to enlarge it.)

1. Manually add three backticks on a new line above your code and on a new line after your code. Note that a backtick is NOT the same as a single quote('). To find the backtick key on your keyboard, see [this post](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/forum-code-formatting/25574).

To see changes to your post as you make them, you can click the (`M+`) button on the toolbar to bring up the rich text editor:
