How I can insert code correctly when asking a question

I see when everyone place code in the question is showing nice in a box. How I can do that?

Click on the Markdown Cheatsheet link toward the bottom of the page. There is also a course here.

The main thing to get your code formatted along with syntax coloring is to put three backticks followed by the langauge name before your code and three backticks after your code. An example is shown @3:48 in this video from the course.

1) Python example without backticks:

This is a comment

if 5 > 2: print("Five is greater than two!")

2) Python example with backticks:

#This is a comment
if 5 > 2:
    print("Five is greater than two!")

3) Python example with backticks and language name

#This is a comment
if 5 > 2:
    print("Five is greater than two!")
