Use the tools & tips on the provided strategy guide & slides, think logically, and ask questions!
Running into problems is the whole point of this exercise and having a good mental model of the language can be key to debugging in general. If you encounter issues relating to syntax you are not familiar with, feel free to ask about it or utilize online resources like: W3Schools
