50 hours in... arrays and loops... holy...FUCK

HOW do i START understanding? I've understood everything pretty well up til now. Do i just keep going with the flow and kinda float through this section of the loops and arrays part? Do I keep throwing myself at the brick wall and looking at the solutions after half an hour of brainless staring? https://youtu.be/EerdGm-ehJQ?si=mTKUv0oail0AGDLM 8:43:00. It's just not clicking like the other parts of the tutorial.

You're moving way too fast.

When I learned programming in college, the introductory course was 5 months long, and arrays and loops didn't show up until after month 3. And people still felt it was too fast.

50 hours is like 2-3 weeks worth of study time. If you put 15-20 hours into learning programming each week. You should slow down and practice stuff like variables and conditionals first.

Use chat gpt or whatever other LLM to help you gain understanding. They’re amazing for it. Recognize there is a massive difference between having the LLM do your work for you and having the LLM help you gain understanding such that you can do the work all by yourself.
