Don't give up. Keep working hard. However if you have some other skills than coding you can focus on them! If coding is your passion work hard for it. The best way to learn will be reading books. Write codes for every single concept that you learn. SL compilers will not allow you to use complex non web codes so keep working on your own machine. focus on algorithms ,try to understand concept rather than only focusing on language. I repeat if you are interested in other things than coding go for it. It's your choice completely!

I took a look at your profile and you haven't selected a programming language yet. Give yourself a chance. Start by using all of the Sololearn App also focus on one specific language. You can do this. ☺️

No, don't ever say that! Yes coding is hard and it has a lot of obstacles but that comes with everything in life. Don't be discouraged if you have a passion for it just go for it! Maybe you're using the wrong technique to learn (like I was.) Please write in the comments section what technique you're using to learn then I can help you better but don't get discouraged. With respect - Hira 😊

Programmer is that who never give up on their codes not only in coding in life also we have to follow it Do you know what other developers do to fix there bugs they have to see these code lots of hours to simply find the bugs and fixed them properly it takes lot of time if a bugs takes so much time to fixed what do you think ? how much time it take you to learn its ok to take a break and if you don't want to code don't code but at least you have to try and find your interest which you like example if you are good in graphics you can make awesome web pages etc there are lot of fields in this just we have to find which fields we like just

If we all said that every time we failed, how do you think the world would look like? I recently failed a Python interview that i was really excited about because i thought I can code, but here I am still learning and getting better. It all takes time

I agree with ron on this one. You wont be able to excel at a language unless you start working it. I’d recommend to do the HTML lesson to start and complete that course. While you learn you can even practice offline. Just write up your code in notepad, save the file with a .html (or .htm) extension and drag it into your browser to see your work. You will make mistakes. We all do. It is normal. Don’t let that discourage you. Treat mistakes & errors as lessons & opportunities to learn. Competence is not developed by reading alone, it is built upon the foundations of solving problems and doing the work. Now get your butt over to that HTML course and get started slick ! You can do it! 🇺🇸

I don't think I pick up coding well. However I have worked in many sectors and can see the obvious benefit of efficiency and effectiveness. My take is that even if a person is not able to code well, learning about coding gives a deeper appreciation of what goes on behind the scenes. That to me leads to a fuller life.

If it's not what you're into, then it's not what you're into. Coding can often be frustrating and takes dedication, and if you can't or don't want to give those things, maybe another skill is appropriate. That being said, getting frustrated when you're learning is pretty normal. I can't tell you how much hair I've pulled out trying to wrap my head around C++ x) Code burnout is rough. If you're stuck on a particular problem, maybe you could post it here and ask for help. Maybe try another language as well. Python, Lua and Javascript are pretty straightforward and can be used in lots of places.
