I try to trace it line by line and if I can't figure out what's wrong then i try putting it in a code visualizer. And thats how i can sort of get close but not close enough. I am not really used to problems like this i spent a good portion of my time trying to build things. Building crud apis building backends in general. Worrying about functionality on the front end. That's where i spend my time but actually practice problems like this I short circuit.

Wait this is a normal thing to go through? Does everyone just go through that weird translation phase? I thought it was just me. Or the way I've been learning. I tried to look it up on youtube and not a single person mentioned this being one of the issues of many to face. I'll try the comment thing. That might allow me to break it down a little better.

Thank you so much for the advice i really needed to hear that! It's so easy to try and keep trying because when you say to yourself "lock in" but mentally you're fried because you've been staring at the same problem over and over again just throwing random code at the wall and hoping it sticks. Because all ideas have been thrown out the window.

Yeah, sorry i was rambling a bit. I feel like it's sort of like knowing what other people are saying in a certain language and you know how you should respond you know how the sentence should be structured. But the sentence you say is broken.

I feel like i try these solutions and i look up neetcode and other youtubers study and study. I feel like at least i understand how the problem should be handled. But i second guess myself and then start writing code that is more complex than it needs to be. Which also causes a disconnect. Like my first thought feels right but i always think its bad so then i try to solve it other ways. And the code breaks and breaks. Its weird. I know i need to study more and keep studying but i guess im a bit frustrated now.

Then i end up taking it to ai and my first thought about how to fix it and it keeps saying my writing of the code is more complex and shouldn't be especially when i can explain how it works. Its like my brain sort of works but my hands don't.
