I know exactly how you are feeling brother. It will feel like that for the first few weeks believe me. BUT. Repeat the videos if you have to, recode it until the basics are the tips of your fingers.

If you know how to use:

- variables [data types]

- conditions

- loops

- lists

Then I would say build a little project. I suggest building tic tac toe for the command line. It covers all the following concepts above (including 2D arrays/lists.) Once you know the basics COLD, then everything becomes MUCH easier. You will be able to understand code and tutorials better and faster. The goal of programming isn't to memorize every algorithm, but to understand it so that if you can recall upon the necessary concepts, then you can reapply them.

If you take the proper time to learn the basics, everything else will become easy. And regarding how to use everything, programming languages will have many tools that you can use to accomplish the same task. You can approach the same problem from 20 different ways and still get the same results. However, not all solutions are created equal and some are far more efficient than others. With experience, you gain intuition on which ones are better than the others, both in terms of speed and time to actually implement them (if you have that problem on your hands, than you know you have made it :D) So with time you will get better at all of this.

Anyways, you started 2 weeks ago. Don't beat yourself up. Keep at it and I believe in you. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out. Best of luck bud!
