 The best way to get help is to show 
 
 1. **What you did what you did, ideally with a small complete, stand-alone, example.** 
-  If you ran a command, show the command that you ran. If your program failed, provide the source of the program that filed.
-2. **What you expected to happen.** If you expected the command to complete successfully, say that.**
-  If you expected the program to produce a particular output, give an example of the output you expected.

+2. **What you expected to happen.** If you expected the command to complete successfully, say that. If you expected the program to produce a particular output, give an example of the output you expected.
 3. **What happened instead.**
   If the command failed, include the full output of the failure, not just a single line that you though was the cause. If the program failed to produce the expected output, include what it did output.
