Is using Google cheating?

Question

You're given a project to do, after hours and hours of thinking, you fail to come up with the logic to use.
So you decide to research your problem on Google.
Is that cheating? Does it make you a bad programmer?

Answer 1

Cheating one time can't be said proper cheating but if you will get dependent on the google properly only then it will be recognized as cheating.

Answer 2

It makes u a good programmer.
Using the right (!)websites shows you excellent code.
In my very very individual opinion, beginner should first read high quality code up to 15 lines and try to copy line by line by heart.
So....cheating is a good way of learning.

BTW 20 minutes trying your own is maximimum before googling.

Answer 3

NEZ so we have very different opinions.
Not so bad!

Answer 4

Frogged

😁Yea of course

Answer 5

Sometimes you just have to google to get your head around an idea.
Try not to present copied code as your own.

Answer 6

It's doesn't mean you always go on Google and Idea 💡 of that project...one time it's ok..2 Times it's ok...but .. again and again Is not good...if you think 🤔 you are unable to find Idea 💡.. then don't move forward.. Keep stuck in that project..and keep using your brain 🧠...it will take lots of time..but once you completed you will gain lot of Self confidence...so Just keep on trying......and use your mind..and increase your self confidence 🤩🤩🧠🧠🧠💡💡💡💡💡💡💡🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠💡💡💡💡💡💡💡🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
