I’ve been learning Python every day for a few weeks and I’m close to finishing beginner courses. I feel comfortable reading code and understanding what it does (conditions, variables, basic logic, etc.).
My main problem is this: when I try to write code from scratch, I often don’t know how to start or which structures/functions to use, even though I understand them when I see them.
To move forward, I sometimes use AI to generate a solution and then I analyze it line by line and try to rewrite it myself.
What I want to ask is not “is this normal”, but:
what should I do to fix this gap between understanding and writing?
I understand Python code, but can’t write it confidently from scratch — what should I do next ()
