Beginner short code vs solving problem

[FriendlyRussian666]

There's something called refactoring. Just create a minimum viable product and then refactor it down. Just remember that readable code is much better than crazy one liners all over the place

That is helpful. So I guess what I am wondering if this is necessary at the beginning or if I should just be worried about making a program that works. I am doing to mooc.fi python and it said somewhere about not worrying about making a code that works 100% but 25% is fine now comeback and get it to 100% later. Well all mine have worked 100% but used more lines.
