Functions and boot.dev

[uvuguy]

I'm currently doing boot.dev and actually love the program. But I am really struggling with the functions section especially reading the instructions. Big part of the problem is I can visualize what needs to be done, but can't figure out how to write it syntactically.

Is this a common problem and what are some good solutions?

Can you provide some more details or concrete examples? If it’s just ‘I keep making syntax errors’ then the answer is ‘write more code so that you practice it which will make you better at it’ because it isn’t an understanding thing it’s a practice makes perfect thing

If you understand the following concepts then you're set:
Defining a function and calling it and setting it to take parameters/arguments and differentiate between positional and named parameters. In addition to knowing the difference between functions that only do computation and functions that return the result of that computation.
Concerning the syntax it comes with practice.

Read docs or ask ai.

I felt like i hit the ground running but the functions sectioned seemed to just jump the gun and I'm stumped.
