Sololearn is making understanding Python very hard

Question

I'm learning Python for my diploma and I never found a more complicated way of understanding the basic of Python.

People say Python is easy to understand, it is true, although it is hard to master you should know that SoloLearn is using a hard way of teaching, for example :

- The constant use of calculus and maths is making understanding the core of Python difficult for a lot of people, only because they are trying to figure out the logic of the code first, and then have too do the math too, pretty hard for beginner.

- Not a lot of explantation nor documentation during the lessons, some basic examples but that's about it.

I do enjoy the website and it has a lot to offer, but I think for a first dive into Python, some others ressources and courses are mandatory.

Answer 1

When I read the tutorial, I struggled with the OOP part, which treats everything only very briefly.

I also feel every item should be explained in the easiest way, not adding complexity to what is explained by choosing a difficult example.

That said, I have seen *far* worse cases of this in other places, especially in text books, and even more so in books about C++.

Don't forget that you're not alone here. We got a lot of Python fans who will readily try and help you clear any confusion you might have.

Answer 2

You can refer the resources shared in the below threads to understand concepts in more detail.

Answer 3

Fyi is not really a question more an observation, I have private teachers and books so it is not really about myself but new beginners

Answer 4

I find out sololearn is more flexible when it comes to its lessons, I've seen far worse, remember practice make perfect, I failed my university paper for python and when I went through sololearn tutorial for python, the stuff in the textbook became easier and I went on to score a distinction. Read also the comments at the end of the tutorial, also the additional information you get after obtaining a verificate clarifies some of the hidden or difficult stuff.

The question is about learning Python, which makes it progamming related, and specifically about the way SL teaches it, which also makes it SL related.
One can argue about the openendedness. Although a general example is given, it isn't possible to answer the question on behalf of SL.

What can be done is to give a solution to the frustration behind the question by more experienced members who have been through it.

The beauty of SL is that it is community based and that most of the learning is done after doing the course, through interaction with others and learning from their code.

Can you give an example of "constant use of calculus and math"

It might be my backround in engineering that made me blind to it.

I can however tell you that I started my python journey on SL.

Honestly, I did the SL python course 3 times before I was comfortable with python.
The first time I went through it I got a birds eye view. The second I understood the basics a bit better. The third I started to feel comfortable.

I still haven't mastered OOP and regular expressions.

The information density can be very high at times, just stick with it.

Answer 7

you know sololearn is just for concept but if you want to be programma for python you should learn different materials

Answer 8

This isn't a programming/SoloLearn-oriented question, btw.

Answer 9

You can learn python from other sources. There are many web sites that provides free course.you can also learn basic python on YouTube.

Answer 10

read some python books it will helps you

Answer 11

I must say you're right. Of course with such a price could not be better. Yet for geniuses its fair.

Answer 12

You can look for other sources on Google too.
