For beginners....consider using "Try It Yourself" as you move through the lessons

When you are doing a lesson and see "Try It Yourself" go there. Always go there. Do not skip it in a rush to complete the lesson and gain a couple of xp. When you click on "Try It Yourself" you will see an IDE (coding environment) with code already in it! You don't have to do anything. First step: Hit "run" and see the output. Ask yourself about each line of code: What does this do? How does it contribute to the process? Next step: Try changing the code to see what happens. Does it still run? Does it produce a different result? Now if it runs save it (not as public) and retitle it so you can refer back. Indicate language and specific skill referenced in the code. The Try It Yourself feature and the IDE are tremendous features of Sololearn. Take full advantage. As soon as you learn to write comments be sure to comment your code as much as possible to build understanding. Finally be sure to look at other programmers' work on the Code Playground....always ask yourself how did they accomplish these amazing things? what does each line of their code do? Good luck. Write and save lots of code. My .02 I gave this thought as an answer elsewhere, one of the moderators encouraged me to put it in "beginner" posts so here it is as a new thread:

Rax I have a suggestion: There is a thread here by Filip called "Literature For Programmers(Books)" with some ways to get free books on C++ and other languages. Try that thread.
