Built-in code editor and a little more

Question

Well, very rarely I go to this site out of boredom and watch different lessons for fun. Now I'm reviewing a course on Java and I have a question about some of the lessons (I didn't shoot all the lessons, of course). I noticed that the code in the built-in editor, when there are two of them on the page, is the same. For example, in the lessons about increment&decrement and logical statements.
The code in first block looks like this:

```public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x = 34;
int y = ++x;

System.out.println(y);
}
}```

And in the second block of code it's the same, but ```int y = ++x``` should be ```int y = x++```.

A year ago, when I came here, I noticed the life system and it made me a little angry. What happened to the site during this time? This system introduced a rather unpleasant limitation on learning than was previously the case.
I myself started with this platform and gradually began to understand how it all works. But over time, I realized that such lessons are frankly useless and are information hogwash. One of the advantages that I can highlight is that such “free” lessons are a good kick-start for beginners into the world of computer science. And then you can either use books, forums or video tutorials, which is what I subsequently did.

That's all I wanted to say. As I wrote, I'm here for a little fun.

Answer 1

If it is able to kickstart some beginners to go on their coding journey, then it's doing a good job, in my opinion.
I think this platform was gamified so people would come back regularly. It have to generate some revenue after all. I see no problem with that.
I'm just worried for those who finished the courses who think they have 'mastered' the language. If I have one critique, is that the site tends to promote that illusion...
Yes, make use of all available learning resources out there. Learning is an endless task.

But since this os a Q&A discussion section, I think the mods will have some opinion to this post being OT. Perhaps it should be posted in your personal feed instead?

Answer 2

Do you mean duplicated code snippets in a lesson?

I think app version is fine, but bugged in web version.

Please send bug report to SL.

Answer 3

If you want a code editor and a good code area. Use visual studio code, Apache Net Beans or TMC netbeans. Java with intellj plugin. I can go on for hours. If you want something for more advanced learners do things like MOOCs and read books and do sone courses in corsera.
There, I just solved your problem.
P.S. I go to this site for fun too, posting on the forums is a GREAT way to kill time.
Cheers.
