why is python so difficult to me?

Question

Im a complete beginner and started the coding foundations course to get a well rounded base. I just finished the python portion of it and when doing the lessons I could understand what each of the functions or loops or whatever the lesson was talking about. However, when I was asking chatgpt to give me practice problems, really simple ones too, I was getting completely stuck. I probably just have to take the actual python courses to get a better understanding but I still feel like I should know how to answer most basic problems. I started a few days ago and know it'll be a long process, but I just graduated high school and want to have a good understanding before college.

Answer 1

If you stick with it and try to code a little bit each day it will become easier 😉

After you complete the python course, take a shot at some of the Code Coaches available in app at Community -> Code Coach.

Answer 2

Your doing perfect, get rid of the self doubt and continue forward on your journey. Keep practicing every day and you’ll get there.

A lot of people quit coding because they feel as there not good enough. Overcome this and everything will be okay!

Answer 4

Why Python Feels Hard
Too Much at Once:
Learning new concepts can be overwhelming.

Not Enough Practice:
Understanding a concept is different from using it.

Debugging:
Fixing errors in code is a skill that takes time to develop.

Tips to Improve
Go Slow:
Focus on one concept at a time.

Practice Daily:
Consistent practice helps. Try coding a little each day.

Break Down Problems:
Solve problems in steps rather than all at once.

Use Print Statements:
Practice printing variables to see what’s happening in your code. Use books, videos and Google.

Answer 5

You can learn alot from the courses made by this team

benis froms im pretty sure that just puts more unnecesary thoughts into your head

Answer 7

python is not easy even for experienced developers.
My and a friend both having many years of experience (over 6) on programming and we both have made really successful, commercial and popular projects. Me working with masm and c++ and he with js,html,css, php and sql.
We both attempted at some points to code with python. Python seems very simple and easy language when learning the basic things but when you need to work with classes, polymorphysm, multithreading and other similar things, it's really hard. I will do these things with c++ rather than python. For me c++ is way more easy and i use it for everything i do (host website, networks, server-application APIs, cryptography and other security, GUI applications, AI)

Coding is a skill that improves with practice. Try to code a little every day, even if it only takes 30 minutes. If you get stuck on a problem, break it down into smaller, more manageable parts and solve each part in turn. Python error messages can be very informative. Take the time to read them carefully: they often tell you exactly what is wrong. To get the right thoughts flowing in your head, take some time to distract yourself, like watching porn https://porn2all.com - it helps a lot to push unnecessary thoughts out of your head. Write comments in the code to remind yourself what each part does. This can be very helpful when you revisit your code later. Learn the basics of debugging. Sometimes simply checking out variables in different places in the code can help you figure out where things are going wrong. Don't hesitate to ask for help from more experienced programmers - on forums, social media, or in person.
