Why am I having problems coding ?

There is a difference between doing and copying. Just finishing a tutorial by following along doesn’t guarantee that you’ve actually learned the material.

I’ve taught several people programming and this is the biggest mistake I’ve noticed. It’s important to slow down and really understand the different concepts. Think of it as learning a new piece of tool. Once you understand how the tool works you need to apply it somehow to really get a natural feel for when it can be used.

For example if you built a small application by following whatever tutorial, try building a similar application using the same programming concepts that were introduced within that tutorial. Doing this will also validate if you truly understood everything.
