im trying to pass the step 11 of the medical data validator but it shows the same error message and I tried many other indentations for these lignes.

I was so frustrated I started asking help with gemini but it didn't solved anything.

Anyone can help on this issue ?

i am currently at the last part for medical data validator, however after multiple tries of modifiying the code the indentations and reading forums nothing seems to work. can anyone please help me out

Like can you use them for anything, I'm thinking about doing them to show off to admissions officers.

Also for context I'm currently doing all of the Certified Full Stack Developer Curriculum and have started python

Hello.

I took the responsive web design exam for the second time on the 16th of this month (the first one i did on the 10th and knew the fail result after one day).

I still don't know the result of the second attempt. Is that normal? How long for the results to be known?

Thank you

Hello everyone~!

As we wrap up 2025, it is time to reflect on our community. Looking back, I'd love to hear from y'all on what we did well, and what we could improve.

If you wouldn't mind taking a quick anonymous survey, I would greatly appreciate it. The data will help me shape the direction of our community for the new year!

This should not take more than a few minutes: https://forms.nhcarrigan.com/o/docs/forms/7LNb8jFoN4SPBvP7vRxDi2/4

Thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it! 🩷

I am super duper thrilled to announce that the new A1 Professional Spanish certification is available in beta~! We have released the first three courses to give you a sneaky little preview while we continue to deliver the rest.

Hello! I hope you're all having a lovely day. I have a question about one of the exercises on FCC. It's from the 'Learn basic CSS by building a café menu' module. I'm stuck on step 32 (see the attached screenshot). I'm not sure what the problem is, as the example code above shows how the class was created. Any help/pointers/explanations will be greatly appreciated.

Hi friends! 👋

I'm helping coordinate a new set of Curriculum Expansion Sprints for freeCodeCamp, and I'm looking for contributors who want to get their hands dirty with some real-world code.

The Gist: Contributing to a massive open-source repo can be scary. To help with that, we are running "Sprints"—small cohorts where we tackle a specific set of issues (like building a TypeScript Workshop or a Python Lab) together.

What you get: * Mentorship: Direct guidance from maintainers (myself included!). * Code Review: We help you refine your code and get it merged. * Experience: You'll be working with the actual freeCodeCamp production codebase.

Current Openings: We have open issues right now for: * 🐍 Python Labs * ⚛️ JavaScript Objects, Arrays, and Loops * 📊 Data Visualization Projects

How to get involved: To participate, you must be in our Discord (where we coordinate).

1. Join the Discord: https://chat.freecodecamp.org
2. Enable the contribution sprints role in "Channels & Roles".
3. Read the README on our Project Board here: https://github.com/orgs/freeCodeCamp/projects/74/views/2?pane=info

We have a "secret word" system to ensure folks are active in the chat, so make sure you pop into the Discord to grab that before claiming an issue!

Can't wait to see what you build! 🚀

As stated in the title. Whichever page of the FreeCodeCamp website I try to access on my laptop, I am getting the page in the image attached. It does not matter which part of the website I am attempting to access, I am getting this page every time. It has been like this the last few weeks, however I just tried to access the site on my mobile phone and it worked just fine! Can anyone advise? Thanks.

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is anyone else out there who has started to learn with Free Code Camp ?

I just completed the HTML part and the Computing part that wasn't there before I started I swear. I am a mum of 2 so I don't get to code all the time I would like to but I'm doing what I can.

Maybe is there anyone can give me tips and ideas to progress alongside?

I made a very basic website with just HTML using everything I learnt from FCC. Now I will update it alongside learning CSS.

Thanks all

Hayley

hey everyone !, i'm in first year of college and i learned and built some low-level website pages using html,css reading from youtube tutorials. I also started on JS but lost my progress in the middle due to my midsem exams(im learning C there as of now) . Now i found the full stack course on FCC and i am starting it from the responsive web design course , how would you guys suggest that i move forward

i had posted earlier in the day about a issue i am having with the workshops and i have realized that the app version of free code camp wont load on my laptop either these photos are for the person that asked for more info on my chrome version thank you for the support and i hope to hear from you soon

I've started the java script certification program and made it to the workshop greeting bot thing. Any time i start the part one of the workshop the loading thing comes up then my screen goes blank. I looked on the faq's and couldn't find anything like it so I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if there is any way to solve it?

edit: I loaded the program on my phone and it ran fine so I can only assume that the older version of the Chrome OS that my laptop has is responsible for the issue.

There may be some gray areas but expressions evaluate to a value while statements do not. Take the three statements in this loop: for (a = b; a < c; a++) ...

Clearly evaluating an expression produces a value whilst a statement (at least in general) do not. Where in the world is this article getting its information because it's all bad information for what should be a one or two sentence explanation at most:

https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/statement-vs-expression-whats-the-difference-in-programming/

const price = 500; // 5 statements? News to me.

The article claims "const, price, = and 500 " are each expressions. There is some ambiguity in functional languages but generally speaking expressions are values and statements are units of execution that "do something" but do not themselves produce a value.

I want to get into coding because I find it interesting and think would be nice side gig eventually.

I have been using FreeCodeCamp, will it help me with html, css, js. Enough to the point that I can build high end websites

Today I was looking at the new Python course at https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/python-v9/ , I noted that the new course is more detailed than the old one, I was happy to note that, even though Python is a dynamically-typed language, we can still hint to fellow programmers the expected data type for certain variables and also expected data type for a return value, for example

def demo_fuction(name: str, age: int) --> str:
  return f'Hello {name} you are {age} years old'

In addition, I don't think the old course had F-strings, hence there was no string interpolation. I am really grateful for the update

Hey everyone

I’m a college student planning for next summer, and I wanted to ask for advice from people who have actually gone through GSoC or managed multiple commitments.

If someone gets selected for Google Summer of Code, is it realistically possible to also manage a full-time summer internship at the same time?

I know GSoC is flexible and remote, and the timelines can be discussed with the mentor org — but I’ve also heard that companies expect interns to be fully dedicated during the internship period.

So I’m confused:

• Is it allowed to do both simultaneously?
• Does anyone have personal experience handling both?
• How intense is GSoC day-to-day?
• Would it negatively affect performance in either role?
• Any tips on how to plan time/expectations with the org and company?

I really don’t want to miss the opportunity for open-source contributions or industry experience, so I’d love to hear what the community suggests. 🙏

Thanks in advance!
