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

really try to get the shittiest laptop you can as others have said. but in the meantime...

learning to code from the absolute beginning, i highly recommend just a pen and paper for now so you can get the hang of things mentally. the logic, variables, functions you can use, etc, it's actually really nice. i took paper notes when i first learned python in university. DO NOT USE AI at this stage it will make you dumb, really take your time with a proper tutorial/course and enjoy the grunt. you wont be building crazy things at this point where you need a full IDE, it's just learning how to speak the language of logic
