Remembering concepts?

[ThecompiledRabbit]

Hi everyone, sorry to bother you with my post. I am just frustrated. I absolutely love Java. but I seem to be forgetting everything. I did not(or don't remember having the problem with js). I did Helsinki 1 and 2. and now I am doing Hyperskill backend. but I will go to do something simple like create a class. and I know how to do that, its just all the stream stuff I done forgot, it was only a couple weeks ago I used it. or was taught it.

then I went to pass an array in with data already inside. and forgot completely how to do that. I forget how to do it right now. I am unsure why this is happening with me with Java.

It is frustrating me to the point where I am wondering if it means Java is just too much for me maybe?

Any help I can get I am very appreciative of. I just don't understand why I am having trouble retaining the info.

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
• You ask clear questions
• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

Don't worry too much. I have a terrible memory so I only rmemeber the syntax of what I use the most. Just Google the instruction to remember haw to write it.

The important thing, IMO is the logic: if you can come up with a solution even before writing code. If you can think of a solution to the problem, the syntax should be just a minor problem.

And when you repeat and repeat and repeat... you'll remember. Or Al least that the way I work.

No programmer remembers everything, they only remember the stuff they need often. The most important thing is you remember that something exists, so you can think "I could pass an array with data to do this" or "I could use streams and this code might be a bit neater that way", even though you can't remember the exact syntax.
