I'm beginning to doubt myself...

I am not even far yet and i don't understand shit i'm at (basic concept 6/12) and the only things i understand are >>>print ( 'hello word' ) < this is probably done wrong. and i mostly understand the math. i'm beginning to really doubt myself if i can do this or not. Edit: and 90% of the words i don't understand either

Many people start off without knowing a single thing. People who are bad at programming, who cannot write a single program. They try again and again and fail. But do they quit? Well, some do. And that is the end of their programming career. Well, let's admit it; programming is not the easiest thing to do. Everyone starts off bad, but the ones who reach the top are the ones who never give up. Keep on trying and learning and you will reach heights you thought were unimaginable. If you have questions regarding the topics, feel free to ask; we'll try to help you as much as possible. 😉

My first wife failed her first programming course. She ended up spending her entire working career programming computers. I've helped people who sucked at programming become experts and mostly it was pointing out a few minor concepts they didn't understand to turn on their light of understanding. Keep pushing yourself and it will become understandable.

we all started like that , with more work and practice you will be a good programmer, dont just stick on sololearn , try to get some extra resources , and learn the language you like , try them all here , and pick one , the one you like and keep practicing

Practice and challenge yourself. Each time set the bar a little higher when it becomes too easy. That all being said, you may or may not have the time. However with less practice and less time, the results cannot improve. If that's the case, don't beat yourself up over it. You are the one person juggling your life completely. Most people here would not know your situation. You know your situation best. While putting in more time seems the most obvious answer to being a better programmer, this may or may not be the best thing for your life. After all, life has many, many aspects. Many!

Everybody starts like this. You read it and think o my god what is this? But then you continue to read and true and you will find out it's not so difficult. It's like moving into a new town. First of it's big and you know nobody, feel like a stranger, but in the end it will become your home
