I’m a beginner in programming, and I found out I cannot even reproduce a simple number guessing program I have earlier copied from a book.

Is it a beginner issue, or there is more than just continuing to learn to be able to code without hints?

    Repetition is key here. And solving problems.

    I started many years ago with a “for beginners” book, and didn’t fully understand a lot of it by the end.

    So I started trying to build something, and searched for answers to the things I couldn’t figure out (and went back to the book numerous times). I don’t think I ever finished that project, but by persisting through it, and figuring out how to solve the problems that I ran into, I learned how to build something, and it stuck.
