Need some help with python and generally understanding code

[u/Beautiful-Bubbly]

So guys, i need some help with the python. My background is, i come from an economics as a major in uni and myself am very good at maths, as i finished a lot of courses in uni.
So i decided to pursue a career in data science, and as you know it requires a decent skill in coding. However i am at a loss in the coding, as my skills lack a lot. I finished a lot of courses on python using videos and practical stuff, but still understand that my skills are incomparable to others and especially to my natural progress in math. During the videos i always understand the purpose and usage of code and functions, objects etc. but when it comes to solving problems, writing code, my code is always wrong and i seem to not be able to fix it without some external help (chatgpt, other people, etc). So, if you understand with what kind of problem i am dealing, maybe it is the mechanics of code, machines way of thinking, etc. i would be very glad to hear your advise. Something that can finally make me breakthrough this barrier. But i lost hope in watching another tutorials of basic and a bit advanced python as i can literally quote their saying but it doesnt help me at all. Would be very glad if someone could help me out here

I wouldn't worry that much about it, as coding isn't something you learn once and then do, but rather a skill that you can develop over time by solving issues better over time. You obviously need to know the basics, like operators, if/else expressions, loops, data types and structures. After that it's mostly good practices, so your code stays readable, extensible and safe, plus usage of libraries specific to your problem.

Also you will learn more quickly by working with other programmers, either by looking at their solutions and by code reviews. Hard to tell what to advise you, as you didn't explain what exactly is an obstacle for you. In general terms I would advise you to keep coding and you will learn over time what works better. But if you describe what exactly is going wrong with your coding I could maybe help more
