Is it OK to search up even the most basic things when coding

Question

I am just starting out in programming and I’m starting with html (yes Ik it’s
Not a programming language) and my memory is not really the best, especially short term wise. Is it fine to search things up? Even sometimes the most common and basic of things simply because you can’t remember it?

Answer 1

It's totally okay to use Google whenever you feel like you need it. Even professional programmers (I'm not one of them yet, but I talked to a lot) usually go to stackoverflow or just google something when they're confused or can't remember something.

So if you can't remember some stuff, don't be ashamed of googling. However eventually you'll remember the basics, but there will always be something you'll need to find in the internet.
