Short answer:  
[http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#intro](http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#intro)

Long answer:  
Describe the concept you are having difficulty with, and what you have  
learned about it so far. Or describe the problem you are trying to  
solve, and at what point you have got stuck. Preferably show code  
examples which demonstrate the problem, and the errors or unexpected  
results you get when running them.
