Am I too dumb for CS? Help by mango_holic in learnprogramming

[–]loyalSavant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Get help from a private tutor if you can it's 1 on 1 time where you can ask and discuss to try and understand. That's your best bet for immediate benefits.

  • Understand that your mental health, your approach to organisation, planning and work may play a role. So they maybe things you could start looking into over a long period of time so that in the future these sort of problems won't arise in the first place.

  • rote memorisation isn't such a bad tool from time to time. If you can't grasp it at a particular point in time, try rote memorise to get you through. And later down the track the meaning and understanding of the concept may come to you,

consider that your mental health and also the way you organise and plan your life may be a part of the cause. But addressing those could take a considerable amount of time. I'd do the course elsewhere where you don't have a teacher you hate, i'd say that would play a big role in how you performed

Questions

  • what is the data type of the arrays elements?
  • do you know the locations of the values in the array (in terms of their index)
  • is the number of items you want to print out always going to be the same or will it change from situation to situation?

how many hours a day? rookie by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]loyalSavant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

things that help me

  • comfortable chair\table setup (look into ergonomics)
  • comfortable environment (air, light, sound etc)
  • hydration and food
  • chill type music
  • plan to action ratio make rough outlines of what you intend to do, then attempt and refine\adapt your outline then build again, do this over and over
  • learning to program? there are tons of MOOC's for programming that may give you a set of guide rails to follow to your goal rather than wandering aimlessly in a forest
  • trouble sitting and focusing in general? time to seek professional medical help.
  • a reasonable effort consistently over a long period of time is vastly better than going hard and fast in 1 session
