I am a 16 year old Kid. Is python too hard for me?

Answer 1

16 years old is not even a child talk more of "KID"

you're a teen and other people like you learn python, so give it a try!

Answer 2

You're 16yo. You're not a kid already. :>

Answer 3

My 7y daughter is "programming" in Scratch and is already interested in "this weird English". So I'd say you should have no trouble with that ;)

Answer 4

python is easy.........believe me I am 15
its best for beginners

Answer 5

I dont know. Is it? Have you tried to learn any? I would say no, if you try anything is possible

Answer 6

you'll do fine! just never give up!

Answer 7

@Kuba Education done right. Perhaps getting your daughter on SL someday to say hi would be a good idea? :>

@Paul Implying playgrounds and challenges are only meant for kids? :o

Answer 8

its never too early/too late to learn python. python can be learned at any level of experience and age! its a very good choice to do so, i'm 13 and i'm choosing to learn python first for syntax. good luck @Ansh! ^_^

Answer 9

You can try to see how it goes.

Answer 10

@Hatsy, aren't we all kids? Playground, challenges?

Answer 11

If you understand logic, and can write, read and count, you can do python. Why don't you try?

Answer 12

Don't give up.....
try again and again ....but you aren't a kid

Answer 13

Well, I'm 35 and learning this. Should that make any difference? Programing is an art as some would say. And as Bob Ross use to put it with art, "You are your own worst critic". Your going to doubt yourself. Tell that voice to stuff it and work out from what you know. You wont see it right away but you'll eventually expand your skill set before you know it.

Answer 14

@OP: Have you tried C? If you wanna do the thing on SL, have you tried C++ (or Java)? The Python course here gets quite messy, and IMHO, the C-inspired dialect is by far easier to grasp. There's a trend for calling Python "easy" but I honestly found it one of the harder dialects. I'm biased coming from a C background, but even so, I believe it comes down to thinking and perhaps your thinking is very organised and narrowly focused like mine. If you can't think too broadly and need more confines, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Give C++ a try on SL or find a C tutorial. But before you do, ask yourself:

*. Did I understand my course or was I just reading through it?
*. Did I practice problem solving by trying to write codes in this language?
*. Do I remember at least 75% of what I read?
*. Did I browse outside SL for extra material on what I'm trying to learn?

^ That's because self study requires initiative and discipline.

Good Luck with your decision.

Answer 15

no

Answer 16

I know some basics of HTML.

Answer 17

No, it's not. Spend a few weeks on it and you could code a hangman game on your own.

Answer 18

I think most of the people here have been really helpful ... but still I think I was not able to put on my point properly ... by tough I meant that with all my busy schedule I get very less time to go through the lessons ... so should it be feasible to go for Python?
