Learning through Challenge

Question

Do you think challenge is a good way to learn and retain after completing a course?
or it contains too little/limited contents?

Answer 1

No, learning through challenges is a bad idea. You better practice more. Some challenges cannot help you to create proper code, because they don't follow coding conventions.

Answer 2

Initially, it is, as you get the opportunity to practise questions. But once you complete hundreds of challenges, you'll find the questions repetitive.

Answer 3

No, as challenges are to be done within a time limit, they contain only small code snippets. However, if you can implement the idea in them, then you can make good codes. E.g. I learnt to swap 2 variables without using 3rd one from a challenge question

In some way challenges help, you learn to understand code quickly. It is like debugging somebody else's code.

personally challenge won't always help you learn, some question that I get sometime are not because I know it but they are repetiting questions. practice make perfect not challenge

Answer 9

it depends on what kind of challenge you r facing

Challenges aren't made for learning the concepts. They do help you analyze tricky code quickly though.
