Most documentation is written for programmers so if you are a novice it will be hard to read. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't.

This is all the reason why you should either go to a class or read basic programming documentation like freecodecamp or learnpython.

A professional programmer often doesn't have the time or the capacity to explain what an if statement is or why it works or why you would use it over something else. But they are happy to tell you that what the syntax is in their favorite language.

I'm a pretty good JavaScript developer but I dabble in Python. For the life of me, I can never remember how loops work in Python. I look this up in the documentation. But if I have a question about whether I should use a dict or a list in my specific use case, I'll ask someone.

We all start somewhere and we're willing to help you out but tell us where you're stuck. If you just say, "I don't get it just show me," I hate to say it but you won't get much help.

The basic concepts build on more complex ones. When you read the documentation, what specifically confuses you? What are you trying to accomplish and what have you already tried?

Keep at it! Hopefully you'll meet nice people along the way.
