i dont understand how this code thing works to put up a program. what does it mean?

[c++ newbie]

how does the code thing work in order to put up a program?

[n1337]

you mean like this:

//Code goes here

If so, its like using an html tag (if you know what I mean...)

In any case, you type "code" in square brackets [] --> [ c o d e ] (without the spaces).

Then you insert your code.

Then you type "/code" in square brackets [] again --> [ / c o d e ] (without the spaces).

EDIT: so it will look like this:

[code]

//Code goes here

[/code]

except there are no whitespaces when you type code and /code in the square brackets.
