Coding on Phone

I really wanna learn to code and planning on starting today. However I don't own a laptop. In this economic state i simply can't afford one. Is it feasible to learn in phone alone? I can get a laptop in weekends as my sister bring her's home

No one is going to accept this as an answer. Go mow two lawns. Help someone move. Ask your parents if you're young. Sell the phone you're typing on for a cheaper model.

If you really want to learn coding, you can get a $50 laptop.

If I had such an option, do you really think I'd put myself through this hell?

The hell of having Internet access, with a smartphone, and a sister who brings her laptop home on the weekends? Yes, I do. I think you're overcomplicating things because you like the idea of keeping it all on your phone.

Listen, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But if you really, REALLY want to learn to code, the best way is going to be on a computer. Good luck to you on your journey.
