Is it normal to forget.?

Question

Is it normal to forget some key words (like in python I never really remember my previous learned function names and I always end up forgetting functions) .. Does this mean I'm not paying attention that well or is it normal.?

Answer 1

Well, that's not a big problem, practice daily, do exercises or attempt quizzes that help you to improve your skills

It is normal to forget. We are all human after all 😃😃 but...with constant practice, it'll get to a stage where whatever you learn will stick and you'd be like, "I remember, I've seen this before"🤔😃😃

Keep Learning and Happy Coding

Answer 3

Pretty normal i'd say. The key is to keep practicing, and it will be easier to remember. Even though I have been programming pretty steadily for some time, I still need to google basic syntax every now and then.

Roolin thanks, makes me feel a bit better.

Answer 5

It is normal.

A human's brain is wired to forget stuff that is not frequently needed.

It's like a built in garbage collector.

You can counteract it with scheduled repetitions.

Answer 6

It's normal to forget things but it's bad if you keep repeating the same thing over and over again..

Answer 7

As long as you have the idea how to perform a specific task, you are good to go.
We are still in the learning stage. Lots of information are being stored everyday depending on how much time we dedicate in studying. It is pretty normal to forget.
The idea is not to memorize. Understand what each line do. And learn from your mistakes.

Answer 8

Yes,that's normal.

Answer 9

Forgetting happens when you:
- Do not have a clear representation of a subject in your mind
- When you haven't fully understood the concept
- insufficient practice.
