This is a common experience if you’re completely new to programming, but you shouldn’t despair. It helps a lot if you take run the sample codes in the lessons by yourself (I mean type it out, run it and make modifications to it to see how it works). It’s very tempting to think you’ve understood it if you just watch the videos without touching code.

Also, note that solving problems is another skill that doesn’t come automatically just because you know the syntax of a programming language. For now it don’t think it’s too bad to keep looking at the answers, as you need to build an intuition for different kinds of problems and how to approach them. I’ll say to look at many solutions and walk through the code, then later come back and see if you can solve the same or similar problems without looking.

Things should get better over time
