Question

Answer 1

Probably more practising.

Answer 2

I have a similar issue. Im not good at time management. But I think you can improve at challenges...I think that by really studying the. challenges using "view correct answers" you can learn. Im glad SL added that. So my suggestion is:

1) be sure to look at correct answers for your old challenges.

2) If you arent sure, try to run the snippet in Code Playground. Make changes and comment each line...see what happens.

3) don't just stop doing challenges. try to do some every day
I just challenged Nikolay in php...you can guess how that will go but I learned a little:).

4) at the same time look at non-challenge badges as goals to take the pressure off yourself. Maybe like me you'll get in a pattern of not-so-great win/loss ratio, then get a badge and xp, the slide back a bit on challenges....

Your code "location" is great, let's see more!

Answer 3

Most of the questions are only math, loops and recursive functions. But not really about the language itself. Atleast for JavaScript.
