Do you guys use Laptop to design codes?

Question

I saw many people designed some complex and large codes.
Do you guys really write code from your Cell or from Laptop? Honestly I tried to write a small code and I felt it tough!

Answer 1

The platform you write from is important. For example , if you wrote from the phone , you will get tired very fast , because of the effort you have to do while concentrating at a small screen , and also using only a few fingers while writing is very tiring.(that is a reason why coding on phone is more difficult)
An laptop is a good solution for a better work. You can take it anywhere , and you can use the keyboard to write faster ; the screen is bigger , so you can easily see what you did and what you have to do.

Answer 2

I always code on my smartphone, I tried a couple of times to use my laptop for that (like a pro 😄), but honestly I type faster on the phone + it allows me to multitask 😁
But then again, I'm just a newbie, so I usually code little snippets in order to learn, I'm sure things change quite a bit when one is working on a serious project.

Answer 3

MrZixpack there are some keyboards out there that make life of a (smartphone) coder much easier. Some allow you to switch between different layouts by swiping (or another way that's convenient to you) and add custom layouts (as well as numbers and symbols rows)

Answer 4

Николай Шаповаленко very nice suggestions 👍🏻 I'd add AnySoftKeyboard too - it's open source, supports different languages and is very customizable

Answer 5

yes
it is easy and fast

Answer 6

yes, my laptop is easier to write a big piece of code on than on the cell phone. The screen is much bigger and the keyboard is better. although a Bluetooth keyboard will work with an iOS phone. Unfortunately you cannot plug a large display into your iPhone so the screen is still too small for a serious coding.The cellphone app, although has many more features than the web interface to Sololearn

Answer 7

Using laptops for coding is better than using mobile phones

Answer 8

MrZixpack 1Lory☕ try hacker's keyboard for Android. Smart, have tabulate button and arrow keys.
Also jbak2 keyboard.

Answer 9

I use my cellphone for Sololearn. But then again, my codes are neither complex, nor large.

Answer 10

It's true
Typing a code using the phone really takes a lot of time and you also get tired easily.
But using a laptop is the easiest way

Answer 11

Yes you can use it but the platform you use to compile the code might be the problem

Answer 12

I write codes on SoloLearn directly on my tablet using the Code Playground. But I would suggest you to use a larger PC like a laptop or a desktop for programming, especially for big projects.
It provides you a bigger screen to fit larger piece of code in your preferred font size, thus letting you edit your code and find errors more efficiently.
Moreover, the screen's size enables you to be able to put better focus on your work.
If a PC is not available, then a keyboard can be used using the USB port.

Answer 13

Yes, you're right 💧Alex Tusinean🔥 , actually I don't have laptop right now, my mom said I'll get one after completing this academic year. Though I'll try my best for writing code from my school laptop.
Thanks for the good explanation Alex! 👍

Answer 14

Yes

Answer 15

Salutations my children! I use PC and tablet... but no laptop...

Answer 16

"code from your cell"? Like a prisoner?
Joking, sorry. Couldn't resist 😁

I haven't used a laptop for the Sololearn courses until I started the SQL course. In order to follow along properly, you need a laptop or PC, since there is no SQL playground.

As for other coding, I image anything serious would be easier to do on a laptop or PC and it is my plan to start doing that more.

Answer 18

I don't use phone even when reading other people's codes not just coding. I use phone for other tasks like answering quiz, challenges...

Answer 19

1Lory☕ Glad to know I am not the only one who does most of their programming on their phone!

Answer 20

To me it's about screen real estate. Best way to code and multi task is Multiple screens (like 2 to 3 24+ inch monitors) with a desktop or laptop ( I wouldn't use the laptop screen... too small
