How do you actually apply what your learning?

I am currently learning JavaScript. I know the basic syntax and the code lines I need to write. My issue is I don't know how I can use that code to actually create a project like a calculator. I can follow tutorials but I came to the conclusion I wanted to create my own project. If you could help me with this that would be awesome.

It depends on how much you already know, but here are some examples: Webpage that shows the current time, day, and month. Webpage that allows a user to enter their name and outputs it in lowercase, uppercase, or removes the vowels. Webpage that simulates an online shopping site such as Amazon.

You will most likely want to learn HTML next if you haven't already. JavaScript works with HTML and CSS to create interactive webpages and web applications.

Kevin A calculator might not be the place to start. If you are new to programming you should start with something easier.

I have already learned HTML CSS php and SQL. I am just having a hard time applying it to projects. I know the syntax but I just don't know how to apply it. For example if I decide to code a calculator I know the possible code for doing so but in practice I end up having an end product that doesn't work because although I know basics I cannot understand how to apply them to projects
