    To paste a code snippet correctly in a question, you can follow these general guidelines:

    1. Use Code Blocks: When writing your question, format the code using code blocks. In Markdown, you can create a code block by using triple backticks (```) before and after the code snippet. For example:
         // Your code here
         Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
      
    2. Avoid Long Lines: If your code has long lines, try to break them up to avoid horizontal scroll bars, which can make it hard to read. Aim to keep lines under 85 characters when possible.
    3. Highlight Key Lines: If there are specific parts of the code you want to draw attention to, you can mention them in your question or use comments within the code to highlight them.
    4. Screenshots: If you need to show how the code looks in your IDE, consider taking a screenshot. However, remember that IDE screenshots should only be used to illustrate features of the IDE itself, not just to show code colorization.

    By following these practices, your pasted code will be clear and easy to read for others reviewing your question.
