Question

I learned the basic like the loop and If etc..
but when I go to practice in hacker rank or something like that I really stuck in the easy problem and take like 1-hour to solve the problem ..is that ok ? or should I learn more like library etc and then practice

Answer 1

Time doesn't matter. You will be needing less time day by day.

I suggest you to solve the coad coach problems here first.

Answer 2

It is perfectly normal, but also absolutely necessary to go through it.

The core of programming - beware, wisdom incoming 😉 - is writing programs.

What does it help you to know if and else or even very advanced things if you fail solving a problem, writing code?

Depending on where you come from (like what you've learned before in your life) this can be hard in the beginning.

You need to become a 'translater' of real-life problem to code.

By practicing a lot, you'll - over time - become better and quicker.

So don't get discouraged if it's hard or takes long - treat it as a game that you want to win, no matter what, and get it finished.

And then onwards to the next, slightly harder task.
