Getting to the next level in coding

Question

Okay, I have been learning to code for over 2 years now and only in the last 6 mouths have I been making large gain in progress. If I describe my current level with my language skills, I can write basic sentences and read Paragraph or two, but if I try to write bigger than a few lines I ends badly.

Amy tips on how to get my code from first grade? I am not looking to make a whole OS by Sunday. I just want to do small things like name generation, or a coin flip without needing a cheat sheet.

Answer 1

If you're having that much trouble, look at someone elses code. The simpler the better. Then edit something small, and run it and see what it changes. Keep doing this until you understand most of what the code does. Then, try and use what you learned to make your own copy cat from scratch, that does something a little bit different.

Answer 2

you can write program that will sort input numbers..make your own sort function
