Can you code​ with your own without help?

for me I can't . I need to look for similar code s to do my code so here​ , I have see most of the codes on sololearn. I do codes with my change the codes that I do goes good with my needed. once I thought that will be problem for my thinking​ so my question is it's really good to do codes with taking help from other codes.

Coding with reference to other codes is a taboo for me. Getting reference regarding specific built-in functions and classes through code samples in official and peer documentation is fine, but in my opinion, referring to complete codes written to solve specific programming problems by other programmers removes the challenge from an assignment.

You are in fact never alone, the compiler is your friend and will point out your mistakes.

There is no problem learning for other peoples code. The true is that reading other peoples code is one of the greatest ways to progress as a coder. That is one of the benefits of the open code movement.

that's what references are all about: the more you use them the less you need them.

Depends what I am doing. Codes on here for fun, yes I write them myself. Program an app in android studio? For the most part, yes. But code constantly come up That I have to search. Like reading and writing to files. Keep working at it, I find myself having to lookup less and less everyday

wells in my opinion you cant know it all and one way to move forward is by getting help you don't have to use someone else's code directly but you could learn from it i personally don't do that but i get tutorials that explicitly explains the bug and difficulty i am having and that settles it all, it take a while but it helps widen my knowledge as i tend to gain more experience and thereafter i can go back to my code, use all i have learnt and boom my bugged is fixed

If you want to be a good programmer you have to practices by making up projects but also keep learning from the best ;)
