I had that same feeling. But then it occurred to me everybody comes here to sololearn to learn. And we all had to start someplace, Usually that's at the beginning with ,Elementary code. So go ahead and post your" hello world. " We are waiting to help you.โ˜บ๏ธ

Sololearn is very beginner friendly. We're not Stackoverflow. The worst thing that might happen when you post a "bad" code is that someone like me gives you unsolicited advice on how to improve it ๐Ÿ˜ Note that it's called "code playground". It's literally a place to play around with code. There's no code that's "too bad" for the code playground ๐Ÿ˜Š

If you don't find that your codes are good enough, just look at the standard here: https://code.sololearn.com/ckwJTDIk9V9N/?ref=app Sololearn is an online community not some code judging competition.

Coding is just like anything else that needs studying: You have to gradually work up. No one will think bad of you because you start with simple stuff, because everybody had to do it.

Feeling that your codes are not good enough means that you're willing to improve. If people comments on your code, take the positive points and build on top of it. The codes that cannot be improved are pretty rare and also depends on what is the context for this code(embedded system, game, multi-threading, ...) So do not be afraid of posting your code, we've all been in your position.

Participate in sololearn challenges. Try your best to get the output. If you can't , try to see the codes submitted by others and understand how they are coding

Sololearn Python course is best and it gives a basic programming knowledge in Python. But it doesn't cover all concepts. I also did feel like this when I completed the course. I personally suggest you to use geeksforgeeks for improving your coding ability. Take challenges in websites like hacker rank and codechef

Think if it as setting an example. And it is good. Others who have the same fear will be encouraged.
