I realize this is a very primary question, but I can't think of a better place to ask it. How do I post my code in the correct format when I ask a question here in the Community?

Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

eg.
```swift
