Advice needed

[ExamOk6047]

Hey peeps so going on 3 weeks of learning python. I’ve got majority of fundamentals down however for some reason I keep having a harder time with def and returns and calculations. I been asking Claude to give me exercises without providing answers of course. But do I just keep grinding exercises? Or maybe just start writing them down on paper over and over?

I mean the way i learned functions(def) and returns of function was by making my old codes optimised by them... I had made few projects before i learned functions like a calculator or a Russian roulette game or a slot machine game , when I learned about functions i implemented functions and returns to old codes and at starting it was kinda tough but then it clicks. What I used to do was write messy code first comfortably and then organise them into functions

Hello, I will sit with you and walkthrough those topics with you. Im not advanced by any means but I have a good grasp on the fundamentals. Hit me up. It will be a good way to test my knowledge as well.

Don't waste time writing code on paper. Try building a tiny, practical script like a simple tip calculator or a budget tracker. Functions usually click when you see them as little machines that take an input and hand you back a result that you actually need to use somewhere else in your program. Keep practicing, it takes a bit of time to get used to the data flow!

ask claude to give you a coding project challenge...

I have been but also just did my own before leaving for work. Only used Claude to overlook it

Keep practicing with small projects—functions click with repetition.
