In addition to all great answers. Put yourself into the OP's place and instead of just writing series of statements, **write sub-questions** you think comes to the mind of the average reader of that question. Understand the root of what they don't understand and then create related sub-questions and answer them.

Instead of saying "A class is different from a method", try writing a question with "What is the difference between classes and methods?" This verbiage grabs the attention of the reader.

I have somewhat done that in my answer here: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42275060/what-is-difference-between-remote-notification-and-silent-notification-in-ios/42302369#42302369](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42275060/what-is-difference-between-remote-notification-and-silent-notification-in-ios/42302369#42302369)

In that one answer itself I've literally wrote and then answered the following sub-questions:

- Do I need to request access once for local Notifications and once for remote notifications?
- Do I need to enable something to receive Silent notifications?
- Why am I saying all this?
- Do I need to enable something to receive remote notifications?
- Curious...Can you tell me what should my payload look like?
- OK Got it. What is content-available?
- I know you told me that I can only download something into my app when I'm using silent notifications, but is there way that I can also wake my app up in the background AND download something for remote notifications?
- I'm confused about remote notifications...I thought whenever I get a notification...my app becomes active in the background and downloads something...can you explain?

Additionally I've used the word CAVEAT to cover some edge cases.

My point is really try to get in the readers head and think of what meta subjects could come to their mind.

(I do believe the question was a bit broad, but nonetheless the logic still applies)

**Some more obvious suggestions:**

When you need to separate between subjects use horizontal line like below,

* * *

Also whenever needed use `<sub></sub>` for adding subscripts. I sometimes use it to add the reference of a quote.

Don't add super big size images. You can change its size with a single click. See [here](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/253403/how-to-reduce-image-size-on-stack-overflow).
