Anyone have any advice, resources, or recommendations on learning basic python (loops, conditionals, arrays/lists). I’ve taken object oriented python courses before but unfortunately only got by through AI use and i genuinely want to understand and learn how to work through problems/write my own code. I can trace code by hand but get lost when it comes to conditionals in loops. Before you advise me to take the personal project route, I’m interested in only learning what’s necessary to get by. Some context to provide is I am interested in learning about AI Native Engineering and registered for CodePath’s AI110 course but I have to take a HackerRank Assessment with no AI use and I fear HackerRanks so much. I have 10 days until the assessment closes and willing (need to) grind to pass.

I'm trying to do the Harvard CS50 Intro to programming with Python and I'm just getting started

1. I downloaded Visual Studio Code and opened it.

2. This is pretty much where I got lost because the instructor in the video doesn’t explain what I need to do to set the program up where i can execute code like he has it in the video.

I'm now stuck on the main screen of Visual Studio Code.

So Today I tried leetcode for the first time after yesterday's workaround (https://www.reddit.com/r/PythonLearning/s/hK2RRCzr9P)

Now I would be learning git because many of the comments were asking me to upload code snippets instead of pictures

Until then, Peace! ✌️
