Why do I need to look at the answers or search google, before I can solve a coding question.

Question

I always google or look at the answers before solving. Why do I do this?. How can I stop this?.

Answer 1

Maybe you pick your problems wrong. Too hard.

When you look at a task, you should have already *some* idea how you'd go about, solving it.

If you see it all laid out in front of your inner eye before you even touch the keyboard, it's probably too easy.

However, if you read the description and have no idea where to even start, or have trouble even understanding the problem...

Then *don't* google for it!

Why? Because you're just spoiling a great learning experience for yourself.

Right now, it may be too hard, but after a bit of practice, maybe after two weeks, or in half a year, doesn't matter, you *will* have an idea how to do it.

And then you will profit greatly from doing it yourself - with your own hands.

So when you have no clue - pick an easier one.

I don't care how easy, it can be ridiculously easy - as long as YOU solve it.

If you do a lot of these tasks, over time, your skill will build up and you'll be able to conquer harder and harder assignments.

Answer 2

For a beginner it is common. It is not a mistake for a beginner to see the codes. But it will become a mistake when he only see the codes but don't try new ones. If you try to solve some code related problems daily , you can solve this issue.
