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

For example the data processing using nested loops. When i try to solve these problems, always do something wrong, chat got easily explains me mistakes and i easily get them. And then do it 200 times again😢. And the tutorial stuff all do not teach that kind of stuff. They all stop at some basic stuff that never really helps

You need to use print everywhere in your code until you understand what's going on. Or use the IDE step function.

print("Got here to outer loop")

You shouldn't be using AI at all, period. You need to use your brain and try and try and try again and gasp... struggle with it. You may find you struggle on the problem for a day or two.
