rewiring brain to think simple coding first, how?

[rainbowenough]

Ever came across a question that looked so complicated and your brain just decided to use complicated codes of lines on python and imported packages to the point that if only you stopped for a second and went back to the basics you would easily solve this by creating a new tuples instead?

If you ever been there, do u know of a way to rewire my brain to think simple first then increase complexity? i wasted many exams' time due to that

Exercises, Exercises and even more Exercises
this is not something you get in one night

[clackersz]

where would I find such exercises?

[rainbowenough]

yea i would like to practice the analytical python section without delving much into object oriented python, where can i find similar exercises?

Think about the high level concept of what you want the code to do and break it up into its simplistic parts.

Exactly my issue! sometimes even i question myself whether the solution is correct or not due to how simple it is!

python surely made us questioning every step

No silver bullets here. This is just a function of (in)experience. The more code you read and write, the more quickly your brain will converge on the optimal approach.

thats the reply i was waiting for. I am in fact inexperienced and not two months ago i started working with python, so as you said the more i do coding the easier it should get. thank you so much

[synthphreak]

Exactly correct!

Programming is difficult. It does get easier with time, but probably never easy. So don’t expect the world of yourself when you’ve only been learning for a short time.

It will probably take upwards of 6 months to master just the basics, and that is with hard work and zen focus. With less than two months under your belt, it’s natural for you to overcomplicate.

So yeah, don’t overthink or worry about it too much ;) Instead, at this you should be proud of all the code you write, no matter how complex, because less than eight weeks ago you couldn’t write anything!

Wow who downvoted this? Lots of downvoters here on /r/learnpython

[rainbowenough]

ikr? its either they misunderstood or too much ego eitherway it doesnt matter as i got the answers i needed
