As a beginner coder, you have probably seen that blank stare with thinking, I have no idea where I even begin.
I’ve been there.
I was even down to the point of giving up on ever learning how to code as I believed that I was not cut out to learn it because I found it difficult.
As it turns out, this is all the process, and there is more positive approach to that.
Step 1: Break the Problem Down
The first thing I learned was this:
Don’t try to solve the whole assignment at once.
Break it into smaller, manageable steps. Use comments to plan your logic. Even pseudocode helps clarify what you're trying to build.
Step 2: It's Okay to Ask for Help
I would also believe that I would be a failure when seeking assistance. Yet even professional developers are constantly asking questions on Slack, on Stack Overflow and discussion boards such as CodeNewbie.
At least once I resorted to services of Coding Assignment Help, too, though not to copy code, but simply to figure out why something behaves the way it does. You see, it was all a difference when I began to create my solutions.
Step 3: Celebrate Small Wins
Your first loop that works? Celebrate.
Your function returns the right value? That’s a win.
You finally understand recursion? Treat yourself!
Those moments build momentum and confidence.
Final Thoughts
Just because you are stuck in the process of it does not mean you are bad at coding. You are also acquiring a foreign language and a foreign way of thinking. Help yourself, be patient.
The one thing that I would say to my beginner-me is that you are not alone and you are able to figure out this out with time, practice, and the help of others.
