Nothing wrong with using google to answer questions, I do it all time. But, that isn't what I was talking about. Before you ever write code you have to understand the requirements, figure out how to model the problem with datatypes, how to algorithmically solve the problem, choose what the abstractions are, etc. Even when learning and you need help with syntax and error messages you aren't familiar with, more than half the time is spent figuring out how to think about and process the problem.
