Serious How do people even code

[Layollyus II]

I have a lab exam about data structures and systems, and i don't know anything because I didn't understand anything, our prof kept teaching python like it's some stack of books or something metaphor or something allegory, or whatever it's called in English.

Sometimes I try to learn python, but I can't get past loops

How do people even code

 

[iblamemyself_0]

try to conceptualize the solution in an algorithmic blueprint before translating it into code, it'll make it significantly easier for you

 

[superpsycho]

ive tried learning a few times but was lazy and gave up after it got complicated

I still don't get how you turn it into code

Same, was good until return statements came

 

[Animecel2D]

Get AI to do it for them

iirc those are used in functions right?

Yes

when i first started learning, i used to translate the algorithmic structure using its literal equivalent in python, the program won't work but when you dissect each issue via the debugger, you'll eventually fix it and learn from your mistakes, also try to memorize where each keyword is classified, chatgpt can be an extremely useful tool, it helped on many occasions when i was a beginner

Think of the steps you need to do and tell the computer what you want it to do. Don't worry about your code being perfect. Usually the first iteration is terrible anyways. The goal is just to get it to work at first and then improve it if need be.

I cant do basic math

 

[Tetsuya]

i somehow found java easier than python, python is so simple that it's hard to understand

 

[Dead End]

Coding is fun, but it takes a lot more time and effort than you initially expect to write even basic programs, and it takes a while to get the hang of when you are first learning.

What exactly do you need to do and what do you struggle with in particular for achieving that goal?

Just get up bro

In my experience, AI is poor for writing code. It usually makes a good first draft, but trying to get it to make minor refinements, or trying to get it to keep track of larger projects is extremely difficult and usually just results in deteriorating code.

I want to kill anyone associated with coding(in gta 6)

Why, and what do you mean by "associated with"? Would a hobbyist count?

 

[bruhwtf]

band

The killing part is just me being edgy but i do hate anything coding related.

Yk you begin to hate things if you are forced to do them. That's the relationship between me and coding, thanks to cucklege. As soon as i hear anything related to coding i start to feel like shit as it reminds me of college.

 

[nukotani]

just write random stuff to get yourself used to it

im too low iq for it

Even non indians??

 

[ULTRAMAN]

Programming was one achievement I never managed to unlock. I later found out I have NVLD, which explains why anything math-related was such a struggle. I'm definitely cursed.

 

[poorenglishcel]

What do you think my race is?
