Imagine that you are someone who wants to answer your question, and all
the information you have is information you have just given us. In
order to diagnose the problem you would obviously need to know exactly
what you typed, otherwise all you can say is: "you did something wrong,
but as you didn't tell us what you did, we can't tell you what it is
that you did wrong", which would obviously be exceptionally unhelpful.
So tell us _exactly_ what you did, that is, give us the code you used.
