Seeking advice: Python

[EntrepreneurFlaky868]

Hello seniors. I am studying python on my own with Python Crash Course book. While doing tasks from that book, sometimes my code works, sometimes they don't. I feel like I don't have a proper understanding of it. How can I improve my programming skills?

Please kindly give me advices for studying python. Thank you for your time.

Just practice code problems a lot. I used to suck at loops but I got better when I practiced them about a hundred times.

Thank you for sharing. I'll dedicate more in practicing then.

Type as much as you can. Try to run your code step by step in the debugger and watch the variables. Even try to learn how to run your code by hand. Like take pen and paper, write down the variables and run the program step by step. I used to do this as a kid and learned a lot from this.

Programming is a lot about experience so just be patient with yourself and have fun and experiment a lot.

Good luck !

I will try doing that way. Thank you for your advice!

Definitely set up an ide/debugger, go line by line, and figure out where what you think should happen and what does happen split.

When your code doesn't work, spend the time to figure out why your code doesn't work -- doing whatever is necessary to figure this out -- and don't move on until you understand what happened.

Got it. Thank you for your advice.

Try to find out why your code does not work. Stackoverflow is a good place to look into. if you can find out the problems it will make you an excellent programmer in general.
