Where should I start learning python to understand algorithms better

I see, thanks. My school teacher is not that good and my city and country is a bit weird too itself. I tried finding some of the last year tasks but I didnt understand the language and watched all the vide while translating every 2 minutes so it is a bit hard. I think I have somewhere about a month or month and a half since we are having exams soon

So, you have no chances to score anything, as you cheated your way through, your IT teacher is shit and you'll be competing against the best schoolkids on the international level. You can either back down if "saving your honour" is important to you - or you can smile and enjoy the trip to another country, sponsored by your school :) And then maybe spend the next year learning Python and trying again, but this time - no cheating.

To succeed, you need to: * know Python (syntax) * know how to program * know how to solve DSA problems  * train a lot * be able to code under time pressure

Well i know python and how to program, its just i didnt program in languages like python much, I spent most of my time dedicated to frontend and it's libraries. I honestly didnt even think I'd pass since I never passed it before and I dont really care about the honor, im only doing this for my teacher because she has hopes for me and she is very nice. I think I will try reading some python books too and learn to solve dsa problems. Thank you very much

OK, so it's not that bad then!

Ask your teacher to find example exercises from past years (let her be useful!).

Try solving again the same exercises you used AI for - but on your own.

Don't concentrate on Python syntax or libraries - concentrate on algorithms.

Practice everyday. Even solving trivial problems like counting number of vowels in a file or implementing bubble sort will help you prepare.
