What do you do when you get stuck?

Just wondering what most of you do when you get stuck on a piece of code or something that does something it’s not supposed to do or just doesn't work.

If I stuck on some code more than a few minutes this means that I’m using a wrong approach. So I try to look on the problem from a different angle and this does the job. It’s like playing chess – if you focus only on a part of the position struggling to make a break at exactly this spot, you usually lose the game. Also if you have a technical problem and the Google and the documentation don’t have a solution for your and you are not doing something very specific/programing embedded systems etc./ in 90% of the cases this means you are doing something wrong or/and missing something obvious.

I throw my computer out the window and I run down my street butt naked screaming at the top of my lungs...it is quite refreshing I must say. :-D

Stare at it for a few minutes, then reroute it to my subconscious and browse the web... Inevitably, sometime within the next 5-60 minutes (Depending on complexity), the answer pops into my head while I'm in the middle of typing a forum p--

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick Visit the Hindi forum here.
I like your approach to this kind of situation!

I take it to codeproject, to google, if answers are not close it might be a logical problem then I go to facebook forget about code for several hours then answer comes as i watch a movie.
I only read newbie introductory dummy books.
What you should do is put it in Ask a Question then have someone else give you the google link. :-D

2 things:
- I try to isolate the unexpected behavior in a standalone app or method that I can test in isolation. If the problem persists (i.e. I'm not able to identify its cause), I request a second pair of eyes to take a look at it. It's much easier for a developer to look at an isolated test case than code in the context of something much larger.
- Many (perhaps most) times, the answer jumps out at me simply by explaining the problem to a developer who's unfamiliar with the issue. Explaining the issue to someone else forces me to think in a clear an unbiased manner, making as few assumptions as possible.

Print out the code and get away from the computer.
