What is the secret of winning challenges ??? 😊😊😊

We all want to win challages. Can the winners answer how they win all the time. For the looses to learn a little bit and try to get a small win here and there 😉

don't memorize, that might help you here, but will do you no good in real programming. Figure it out instead 😃 go as deep as you need to know why it works out this way. If the challenge contains something that you don't know - find it on the internet. If you are not sure how it works - use the playground or an online compiler to run the code and experiment with it until it's clear. After all I guess you've come here to learn coding, not play memory games 😃😃😃

@Nikolay thanks man. Ya I guess that's true. I loss almost every challenge earlier. Was quite frustrated and though I was doing something wrong. But with practice and full concentration was able to win a few. Looking at answeres after the challange was key for me, as they taught me how I should think. The clock ticking is what confuses me 😯😯There is a long way to go for me. Thanks for the advice. Shortcuts like memorizing are tempoary. Using your good old brain is the way to go. 😊😊😊😁😁 Hope this discussion helps and motivates others to try harder 😉😉😊😊

Get a pen and paper with you, write down variables' values, take notes about changes in variables' values. Hope this help :)

More specifically; use your brain, memorize the questions and its correct answers.

@Bang Tu. Thanks man. Yes it seems to be better than doing it in your head. With the clock ticking sometimes you confuse even the easiest stuff.
